You could consider EV certs as an economic attack by the Certificate Authorities and Browser vendors against phishing operations.
As a baseline, it is fairly difficult now to receive a certificate for any well known company, charity or government entity. For example, even a standard non EV request for something like 'C1tybank.com' would be flagged for manual review and rejected.
EV cert requests just up the amount, types and means of communication that must be done which (hopefully) raises costs more for phishers attempting to setup hundreds of scam sites than legit purchasers.
