Cross-platform certificate store abstraction broken on Linux

8/10 High

The certificate store implementation is based on 2002-era Windows APIs that don't translate to Linux. Attempting to run .NET applications on Kubernetes with Linux requires workarounds like Hashicorp Vault, causing multi-month project delays.

Try to get this shit working in kubernetes on linux and you find that the certificate store implementation is STILL based on the shitty half arsed APIs written in 2002... resulting in 2 month delay on a project while people work out how to do cert management with hashicorp vault
