I mean, the use case is I want my GUI wrapper to interactively prompt the user for the decryption password. It’s not getting saved to disk; I just want ssh capabilities (including password protected ssh keys) inside an interactive desktop app.
I can't tell what that involves but, for instance, the two GUI things I typically use with SSH are Emacs (openssh) and x2go (libssh), and they don't do that. Surely you want the agent anyway.
