Both Microsoft and Apple have their own CA root program and system-wide APIs to access the list trusted of CA certificates. From an admin's POV, it would be great if those lists could be reused. 

Windows:
* https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security/trusted-root/program-requirements
* https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/seccrypto/example-c-program-certificate-store-operations

macOS:
* https://www.apple.com/certificateauthority/ca_program.html
* https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/keychain_services
