Because those stats don't show anything worth blowing up ones head over.  I
don't see anything in them that indicates that those 14,000 certificates --
or even one certificate, for that matter --was issued without validating
control over the domain name(s) indicated in the certificates.

EV and DV serve different purposes, and while DV is more-or-less solving the
problem it sets out to solve, the credible evidence presented shows that EV
does not solve any problem that browsers are interested in.

Alternately, people realise that EV and DV serve different purposes through
different methods, and thus cannot be compared in the trivial and flippant
way you suggest.
