A CA is just an expensive machine to sign names for money. But, it is an expensive machine. For stupid petty mistakes like issuing Microsoft.com they just rap knuckles but for mis signing a bank.. there are expensive assets to seize. (Edit: no, I know it's a bad metaphor but a big entity to sue.)

That said, i think ev certs are bogus and most id checks to issue a certificate are bogus. It's a giant circle jerk. you

It's not even EV payments they require. It's just specifically not lets-encrypt certs and self signed certs.
