It's Now Possible to Sign Arbitrary Data with Your SSH Keys
It hasn't been able to do it in a meaningful way.
I've been patching support for this into ssh-agent for about a decade. I wrote a PKCS#11 module which talks to the SSH agent socket to forward your smartcard [0]. Doing so requires three changes to the protocol:
1. The ability to sign arbitrary data and get back the signed result [1]; normally you get back a hashed result [2].
2. The ability to decrypt data, this is what you said. This is less important since many things only require signatures (and not all algorithms support encryption/decryption).
3. The ability to request your certificates [3] [4] this one is kinda obvious.
The benefits of this are that you can use your smartcard on the remote host to do fully authenticated password-less sudo with pam_pkcs11. You can also do anything else that requires you to use your private key to be used, which can include fetching files (TLS client certificate authentication).
Within the US Government, passwords have been being phased out since 2004, but the requirements for authenticated privilege elevation remain.
Another way to accomplish this is to use SSH forwarding of your PC/SC socket but that's less portable and more fragile (and even less secure).

What is the point of a public key fingerprint?
I like that https://github.com/FiloSottile/age has small public keys.

Oh nevermind, age doesn't do any of that. Indeed, it doesn't even do email https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/issues/93

Would you trust a repository made like this to save your secrets?
Why keep something secret on a public repo? Is that not an oxymoron?
Also, I’m terms of encryption something like age[0] makes it much easier to not shoot yourself in the foot.

Looking For Encryption App
Why RSA specifically? For backups, I recommend Tarsnap. But if you really don't want to pay for encrypted cloud hosting, then check out age encryption.
What are some alternatives?
trezor-agent - Hardware-based SSH/GPG/age agent
sops - Simple and flexible tool for managing secrets
whoami.filippo.io - A ssh server that knows who you are. $ ssh whoami.filippo.io
Picocrypt - A very small, very simple, yet very secure encryption tool.
rage - A simple, secure and modern file encryption tool (and Rust library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.
git-crypt - Transparent file encryption in git
