If the legal name is Nationwide they should be able to get an EV cert under that name. Perhaps they just haven't bothered to do so?
The point of an EV cert is only half to give user meaningful names. The other half is that there's a meaningful level of verification done on the ownership of the name. If you're creating fake companies for the purposes of getting phishy EV cert names, it should be a lot easier to track down who you are. The standards around them are much more carefully spelled out than for DV certs.
Leaving your computer exposed is what lock screens are for.
