Yeah. The burden is high, though, and it's outside even most tech-savvy admins' scope of knowledge.

I mean, I could not tell you off the top of my head how many certificate stores exist on my system and what uses each of them. Is curl safe? Is dnf safe? apt-get? zypper? pip? npm? homebrew? flatpak?

What about that has its own built-in autoupdater (less of a problem on Linux than Mac or Windows, but still)?
