I agree with all these points, but how they can be represented in
terms of user experience? I will try to translate to understandable
language.

It is hard to translate because though GPG is simple telegram/signal
are simple too (much more simple from the user side).
"The GPG technology is very reliable and easy to use"
"Anyone can audit it and thousands of people already did it"

The bad news is that most of users don't care about
centralized/decentralized. It is more a technological term not a user
experience one.
I would translate these point like:
"The technology is very reliable and independent from other layers
(mail server provider, chat server)"

or
"The technology allows you to verify identity of your partner (interlocutor)"


I tried to make these points more understandable for people who far from IT.
