It is extremely unlikely that mass-market adoption of EV certificates has anything to do with the inside baseball of CA politics.

So strike my last sentence. EV certs are still more onerous for site operators in terms of price and process than "normal" certs. They don't offer a credible increase in security or decrease in liability for anyone. Those facts suffice to explain the paucity of their mass-market adoption.
