Technically all email providers support PGP assuming they support IMAPs. The mobile client is adding it soon if they have not already. I've been using it with Fastmail for some time. Thunderbird makes PGP very easy and happy-clicky. [1] I also just give people my public key out of band and avoid the key servers. Thunderbird also has it's own built in search.
I think most peoples non technical relatives could follow the pictured steps easily but if for some reason they can not then a desktop sharing session should get around helping someones mom set it up. I've had no issue with my non technical friends.
I should add that if Fastmail added PGP in their interface I would not use it. Nobody could convince me that when a mail provider or anyone else adds E2EE in their application that it's anything other than PP Pinky Promise. They can tamper with it to intercept my communications and no app provider could possibly convince me otherwise. There should probably be an RFC for PP.
