> Some EV certificates also come with some (probably completely useless) liability insurance.

Warranties / insurance on SSL certificates typically only pay out if a certificate is issued improperly, often in conjunction with other conditions like a financial loss directly resulting from the misissuance. Realistically, any screwup serious enough to result in that warranty paying out would also result in the CA being abruptly removed from browser root certificate programs.
