I presume these persons have some software knowledge.
Did you try once to convince computer how shall I say illiterate to use
encryption?
Here is short table to show why it is much *easier* to use S/MIME for
such people.
| operations | S/MIME | PGP |
|----------------------------+----------------------------+-----------------|
| Inst of software | no; included | yes |
| Installation of plugin | no; included | yes |
| generation of keypair | no; ask for a certificate | yes |
| interchange of public keys | simply send a sign message | yes interchange |
