This is a totally valid criticism IMO, and I think platforms should allow for disallowing signatures based on origin, but there's something that, for the majority of users, really holds true:
> With GPG you can set up a hierarchy of commit signing keys which have defined lifetimes and are all subordinate to a master key which you do not use for signing (and hopefully keep somewhere secure).
Within epsilon of nobody is going to do this, but they all have an SSH key. Heck, I don't do this, and I even actually know how to make GPG do it. It's a huge hassle for what, at this point, is really only useful to me for...signing Git commits? I don't need to sign anything else with it, and GPG mail is nonexistent.
(Also, fwiw, if you aren't using a managed service provider, I hope you have a directory service where you can have those keys. If you aren't using a managed service provider and you don't have a directory service, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I'm guessing security isn't that important to you.)
