The only reason to get EV certs is the supposedly "safe" green organization field. As demonstrated it can be circumvented by anyone with minimal monetary motivation. Why even bother in that case? I rate that as "does not help in any real way".
I never said that. The alternative isn't no lock of course. It's the free lock that's equally safe to the one with the green "this is safe" sticker that you pay a premium for.
I pointed out that letsencrypt does not compete in the same space with some providers and I get responses from internet freedom activists who don't want to acknowledge the fact. If shit is broken and doesn't work, you don't use it to make a point, you go fix it.
