I remember a time, when gpg was a simple, cleanly design utility that

GnuPG adopted gpg-agent in large part to clean up GnuPG's design. GnuPG
was introduced in GnuPG 1.9.0, released in August *2003*.
You've ignored GnuPG development for so long you're surprised by a
change introduced seventeen years ago. That's on you.
excuse me, gpg-agent might have been introduced in 2003, but it was
optional. Until not long ago, it was still possible to decrypt file with
password, without having the agent.
Also, I would like to add, I am not protesting the existence of the
agent. I actually use it on my desktop/gui. I am protesting the fact,
that gpg can no longer be used without the agent.
