I'm not sure I understand this part. Can you please write it in a
different way?

Yes, true: creating a key may be trivial. What is still not trivial
though is managing the keys and managing the web of trust. Also, keep in
mind that the scenario I pictured includes mobile devices: not your
regular email client and definitely not your regular hard drive in a
closet.

Is there somebody in San Francisco interested in discussing this more?
Beer or coffee facilitate thinking and coding/wireframing :)
