Well, that's a design decision not to use --batch here (and probably in
GPGME). If it used --batch, epg.el would need to know a passphrase even
if it is not needed (for example, it is already cached in gpg-agent,
encrypted with empty passphrase, etc.) And also it would inhibit gpg
from doing other user queries until the gpg command terminates.

Please don't.
