From userʼs point of view it means: M-x eww RET https://gnu.org or M-x list-packages or something else equally anonymous by nature may eventually request a passphrase to decrypt private GPG key (that one, which was used to encrypt ~/.authinfo.gpg), and fail if request is rejected.

Iʼm afraid, this deeply violates the principle of the least astonishment.
