It took a legitimate actor six months as he underwent EV certification. Even if the primary goal didn't get met, there's still the secondary goal of having problematic publishers officially blocked by cert revocation.
Also, users DO get the app from the publisher in this case. Windows provides SmartScreen, the developer provided the binary and signature (and was on his own as to how to get it)

The trickiest part was explaining to the 60-year-old bank teller why I needed all of these documents notarized and what they were for. I guess that's the one protection against forgery in this case -- notaries breaking the rules are dealt with pretty harshly where I live. They called me several times and her twice, but once that was done, I got an e-mail and everything was taken care of.
