The article is about Chrome, which is a monopoly-positioned product, making a change, upon where the author has stated that as such, EV is really dead. I am not sure why talking about Chrome here would be an "odd focus". When the dominant party does something, it means a lot more than when a minority party does something.

EV has issues, which the article exaggerates (Troy Hunt has amazingly good services, but absolutely terrible opinions), whilst failing to recognize that the alternative is completely useless.

no it's not?

The title is referencing the author's post on EV certs being dead after the change in Safari and the article quotes Google, Mozilla and Apple's reasoning for the change. Your argument should be with those statements, not a narrative you're forcing on the events.

The Safari change was mentioned in past tense (a year ago) as was Apple's statement about it, and this article is about the change in Chrome and Firefox.
