Which is why you design your UI such that no one needs to know about key pairs. "I gave my friend a blue check by comparing faces on our phones!"
No need to mention that the faces are generated from a DH key exchange and that picking the matching faces verifies and signs your friend's public key.
Also, have keys only sign application specific keys so normal people don't access their root key except on occasions so rare that it wouldn't be a problem to appoint a custodian that gives you permission to unlock your own key.
