You're incorrect about Windows. If you just click next several times the cert will not be added to trusted. To do that you'll have to override default settings in a non trivial way (deselect "Choose cert store automatically" and select the correct cert store) on one of the steps

I'm sure that's intentional design

Maybe it changed at some point (8?), or my memory's fuzzy. I haven't looked at it in several years.

Either way, trusting a root CA generally looks far less threatening than the self-signed certificate warnings.
