> You can't access certificates in linux/bash as a file path for example, but you can in powershell/windows.

sure you can, /usr/share/ca-certificates tho you do need to run 'update-ca-certificates' (in debian derivatives) to update some files, like hashed symlinks in /etc/ssl/certs

there is also of course /sys|/proc for system stuff, but yes, nowhere near as integrated as windows registry
