Ronald is the expert on this but, from what I understand, I don't think there 
is any reason to spend time on trying to further analyze this.  This issue has 
been around since day one of _scproxy and affects all versions of Python on 
macOS.  There is nothing we can do to fix it, and, after all these years, it 
isn't likely that Apple is going to change the underlying framework.  What we 
could do is: (1) better document the restriction; (2) find another way to 
access the system's network proxy configuration (not likely), or (3) change how 
we use the System Configuration framework, i.e. either don't call it at all or 
don't call it by default (but that seems like overfill for an edge case for 
which there already is a fairly simple workaround).  Ronald, what do you think?
