Most paid certs aren't worth much anyway. Payment and delivery info for DV certs isn't validated by anyone, it's literally the same concept as Let's Encrypt. OV and EV are the only ones that theoretically have any value, but nobody is using those ever since they got rid of the URL bar labeling; even Amazon is on DV nowadays.
Nothing of value was lost when EV certificates disappeared.
Well the cert companies were harmed
