For the ssl.create_default_context() function, it states that, "if cafile, capath and cadata are None, the function *can* choose to trust the system's default CA certificates instead".
This statement is not clear as, if the values are None, there is no choice and the only elements available are system's default CA.
AFAIK, if the values are not None, it will not fall back to system's default CA even if the given CA does not match.
I propose to modify the end of the sentence with "the function trusts the system's default CA certificates instead".
