I think the assumption it builds in that users fully own and have full control over their device never fully held and will become less and less valid over time also. With the "thin client" model and careless users, GPG breaks.
Also, the NSA clearly wanted to kill the project. I'm pretty sure they engaged in some smarter and more underhanded sabotage after the obvious failure of classifying math as munitions export.
