I believe it's because there is gpg-agent.socket unit which activates
gpg-agent.service which has the path /usr/bin/gpg-agent. To override
that create a unit "drop-in" file:

    # Filename:
    #   ~/.config/systemd/user/gpg-agent.service.d/my.conf
    # or
    #   /etc/systemd/user/gpg-agent.service.d/my.conf

    [Service]
    ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/gpg-agent --supervised
    ExecReload=/usr/local/bin/gpgconf --reload gpg-agent

Test if it's found with "systemctl --user cat gpg-agent.service". Maybe
also "killall gpg-agent" if you have something left from your previous
settings.
