Users expect CAs to be something other than certificate vending machines. The
fact that CAs fail to do this is a problem with browser PKI and CAs, not with
users.

(There have been numerous cases of security people reporting CA-certified
phishing and malware sites to the CAs that did it.  The general response has
been "not our problem, they paid their money and we gave them a cert".  So
even if you tell the CA, they're likely not going to fix it).
