Age is actually -worse- than enc by pretty much all the same criteria I outlined. Working with established interoperable standards and conventions for hardware support, software support, key discovery, and supply chain integrity and implementing them well with careful team code review and extensive compatibility test suite is the hard but necessary road in security. Age does not even attempt to do any of this, and IMO only has very niche use cases, if any, compared to a reasonable OpenPGP spec implementation like Sequoia.
