If I'm connecting to my bank or preferred e-commerce store, then yes. If I'm connecting to Joe's wordpress blog or some random wiki then I barely care if the site is even under TLS to begin with, let alone whether the site had passed a human authorisation process prior to receiving their certificate.
And frankly, the vast majority of internet go-ers are non-technical and wouldn't even notice the different between DV and EV certificates (let alone care), so I question just how well EV even solves the problem you're claiming to address.
It's also generally good etiquette to disclose when you're the author and employee of the company in question (a company that specifically sells EV certificates) when replying on HN; since that highlights biases regarding your arguments
