As Ludwig and Robert said, there are good reasons. However, if you're in real trouble from this, the version of pinentry and gpg-agent I have running with GPG 2.1.2 include a little tick box which allows the passphrase to be visible when you type it in. I don't use it myself, but no doubt others will. Presumably you can't see that and I assume it is gpg-agent itself (bundled with the GnuPG release) rather than pinentry, which is the same library for both 2.0 and 2.1. Regards, Ben
