If it is an ex-employer that might be more compicated.

That might be, but it is nowhere certain that this escrow will happen,
especially if they roll out adk's. Not providing such an option might be
a case where the perfect is the enemy of the good: it might not be a
perfect solution but it can be better than the alternative.

Besides, this is begging for GnuPG forks to arise, and if those forks
are well implemented remains to be seen.
