Windows doesn't have fine-grained permissions for adding to or changing certificate stores, though. When you run "mkcert -install" you'll get a generic prompt for mkcert requiring admin permissions, not a prompt for it changing certificate stores.

I believe the point is that any software asking for admin could fiddle with your certificate stores, so there's no sense in asking for a higher standard of integrity from software that tells you it will do so.
