The rest of this is correct, but nobody is asserting EV means you're good, just that it means you are whoever you're verified to be.
I.e. your cert has an Organisation field of 'Verified Org Inc' rather than a blank item like a DV cert has.
DigiCert still very much supports EV, they just don't like how CASC is planning to do silly things like require you to be in business 3 years before getting verified.
