> manually distrusting might be considered illegal

It is just a display change, all the law says is:

"For those purposes web-browsers shall ensure that the identity data provided using any of the methods is displayed in a user friendly manner."

I don't see how adding a warning icon or block icon instead of the lock hurts would be banned. To me it seems like so much here is based on baseless assumptions.

No, manually distrusting will probably be considered illegal. "Browsers shall ensure", no exceptions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38109691

I would also urge you to refrain from using terminology such as "baseless assumptions" when your own assumptions are so easily refuted by directly reading the text of the proposal.

I as an user decide what is user friendly to me.
to me at this point it seems like you're trying to defend this law a-priori...
