only the distrust of Wosign affects mostly chinese Users. The distrust of StartCom affects individuals, non profit organizations and small companies worldwirde. StartCom was the only CA where these people and groups could get ov,dv,s/mime and code signing certificates for a reasonable price. Of course the incidents needed clarification and ofcourse actions are to be taken to prevent such behaviour in future. But Gerv stated that the main reasons for the harsh punishment are the lies and deceptions. The responsible person is no longer in charge, StartCom has to pay a lot of money to make the changes required by Mozilla. This is OK and fine from the view of a customer / user. But with distrusting StartCom roots Mozilla isn't increasing security for their users and the web, Mozilla will decreasing the security. A lot of people which have secured their services and code will lose this possibility. From the view of a user not really understandable. Just the opinion of a user who is securing services, websites and his mails with certificates but is not capable of paying hundreds of Euros / Dollars for achieving this goal every year.
