But it *is* enabled by default in Arch, and included as a separate
package in Fedora.

For Arch, its even part of core:

$ pacman -Ss pinentry
core/pinentry 0.9.7-1 [installed]
    Collection of simple PIN or passphrase entry dialogs which utilize the
    Assuan protocol
$ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/pinentry-emacs
/usr/bin/pinentry-emacs is owned by pinentry 0.9.7-1
