There is absolutely no reason to use an EV cert other than to line the pockets of certificate companies. I have never once seen users actually check the details of an EV cert or freak out they have a regular https connection.

When observing non-technical users, I still see people clicking through blatant full page cert errors after connecting to WiFi because they've been implicitly trained that it's the captive portal making them sign in.
