Please let us turn this into a fatal error again. I had too many support cases where Kleo was actually run with Admin rights and messed up the permissions. To help with development issues and for the sake of some blockheads introduce an envvar to bypass the error.

But only with an option - in general showing expired keys is annoying. For revoked keys the situation is different in case of a compromise - but many users revoke old keys anyway and we don't make use of the revocation reason. If we would consider the latter the UI/Support would be more complicated than useful.
