While theoretically the case... perhaps if real security people reporting real issues were to use GPG, there'd be an incentive to set it up properly. In practice, if 99% of emails you get via GPG are no better than spam - and in fact worse, since they require that you waste your time figuring out whether there is actually a bug - then GPG mostly just makes for a pretty good spam filter.
Back in the real world, most security-minded people realise there's little chance that anything particularly awful is going to happen as a result of sending the report as an unencrypted email, and GPG is pretty dreadful to use so next to nobody uses it except for hobbyists.
