None of any of the alternatives to OpenPGP you mention solve the issue that a secure offline system sets out to solve. They are orthogonal issues. Alternatives to OpenPGP have the same need or lack of need of a secure offline system as OpenPGP itself. The only difference I can think of would be in the number of messages disclosed or the range of signatures that could be faked by a compromise, not the base premise of disclosure and impersonation. You might well reasonably object to the UX of OpenPGP. Just not on the ground that there are people who think about offline secure systems, that makes no sense to me. The two are unrelated. The only relation I can think of is that people who think about deploying offline secure systems probably aren't quickly scared off by an overly complicated system ;-).
