That the landscape has changed dramatically everyone will (hopefully) agree and your phrase is perfectly fine, but I do not consider GnuPG or OpenPGP apps as tools giving users anonymity. What you say would fit more for a cross-platform OpenSource app like Bitmessage, compared to PGP's or GnuPG's privacy philosophy.
