A long time ago I spoke to an Apple employee about it, and they said it was
done by a patch in the TLS library. Not in curl itself. That the curl version
they used back then was virtually untouched by Apple.

The TLS library would be LibreSSL in this case since it works with the curl
command line tool using that library.

A completely different Apple employee also recently pointed out to me that
there are several projects already offering access to and use of the native CA
store, so it is certainly quite possible and not magic. The fact that wolfSSL
already supports this I think backs up that theory.

Or as I like to say "it's just code". We can add this feature to for example
the OpenSSL backend.
