Yes. You can't just jeopardize a substantial portion of a large company's revenue stream like this and not expect retaliation. Guaranteed that unless the executive team steps in to reverse this, Google has made itself a few powerful enemies.

Google is playing with fire here. I would expect Symantec and other major business who stand to be negatively affected, especially the extremely large ones that Symantec was accommodating by skirting some of the EV rules, will immediately start pushing for regulations around this process. That's the easiest way for large companies to control this kind of thing.
