Hardcoding certificates is actually way too easy. SSL libraries don't necessarily use the system ca store or even know about it. OpenSSL has the option of disabling certifcate validation, providing your own certificate list or pointing to some system-supplied certificates which you need to find first. So in a way you even have to count yourself lucky if the hardcoded one instead of choosing to just disabling validation.
