This, however is not sufficient and does not match the MacOS system behavior, e.g. if you compare with tools like curl or Safari.

Additionally, the return value of SecTrustSettingsCopyTrustSettings (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/1400261-sectrustsettingscopytrustsetting) should  better be checked.
