And the gun was created as a response to the political reality that it's hard to fire a bow.
There is nothing inherent in being a maker that gives said maker any special understanding or say over political aspects of the tools that maker creates.
And no one knows why Bitcoin was created. No one's sure who created it, and that person certainly hasn't provided any concrete motive. I don't know enough about PGP to say the same, but don't try to shoehorn a tool into your argument just because you don't think I'll notice.
Technology is a response to politics as well as a catalyst for political change. To attempt to "de-politify" technology as a matter of course is like castrating a prize bull.
