It’s because the existing system is built around greed more than quality identity verification. I wouldn’t be able to verify the identity of someone in (ex:) India and, I assume, it’s just as hard for them to verify mine. Every time I’ve done verification for code signing I’ve dealt with someone who, IMHO, wasn’t qualified to verify my identity. One of the worst experiences I had was getting docs notarized just to have the CA turn around and ask me to send them a list of notaries in my area so they could call the one I used. The whole system is terrible and the margins are so huge that nothing will ever be fixed unless the CAs are forced to come up with something better.
