You don't technically need a centralized authority to encrypt email. You can do it at the client level and use some form of public key encryption. You will however have to manage your own private key, and recipients will have to be willing to actually use the system you devise. That's always the hard part.

GPG is not fucking hard. People just like being eaten by parasites. Like Proton. Tuta is Open Surce. Nobody has a fucking clue what Proton claims to be.

Everyone managing their own private key opens it up for man-in-the-middle attacks. That's why certificate authorities exist.
