the trouble with these two invocations of gpg is that they offer no
command. Each invocation of GnuPG is supposed to include exactly one
command and zero or more options. As the gpg(1) manpage says:
gpg [--homedir dir] [--options file] [options] command [args]
--with-fingerprint is a GnuPG option, not a command. When you give gpg
no command, you're basically saying "hey, gpg, do whatever you think is
reasonable."
more recent versions of gpg will complain:
gpg: WARNING: no command supplied. Trying to guess what you mean ...
Please see https://dev.gnupg.org/T2943 for more discussion of this
situation and why it is problematic.

the latest release of the 2.1 branch is 2.1.23. show-only was added in
2.1.23.
