The counterpoint to that is that I'm not spending money, and substantial amounts of hassle, to buy an EV to increase my customer base by 0.001%. Im not sketchy, my site isn't sketchy, and so there's nothing for the 0.001% to complain about. So my site is DV, always has been, and no one has ever complained about that. So the money, and more importantly the hassle has no benefit to me. Rinse and repeat for (some large % of web sites), users don't care about green bars or not, and EVs become useless.
