True. GnuPG 2.x does it.

Currently pinentry-curses is not well integrated into Emacs, and I'm
recently trying to fix it. See:

IIUC, GnuPG 2.x series are not just newer versions of GnuPG but on the
different product line from GnuPG 1.x series, and they can coexist in
the system. So unless you have any particular reason to choose GnuPG
2.x, I'd recommend:
1. Install the latest GnuPG 1.x along with 2.x and let epg-gpg-program
to point the executable, or
2. Use other pinentry-program which interact through the windowing system
