The module-level `ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context`
disables certificate verification for ALL urllib requests in the process,
not just the benchmark's HuggingFace downloads. This silently exposes
the benchmark runner to MITM attacks.
If a specific environment needs to skip verification (e.g. corporate proxy),
users can set `PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY=0` or pass a custom ssl context per-request
rather than globally patching the ssl module.
