Comment:

 I am of the opinion that someone running a local development environment
 will most likely not be trying to resolve everything that is flagged in
 the Site Health section (if addressing suggestions at all).

 That said, I think that this is still a valid thing to flag, even if the
 potential for an attack is very slim on a local development environment.
 Two of the more popular local development environments
 ([https://varyingvagrantvagrants.org VVV] and [https://localbyflywheel.com
 Local]) make it very [https://localbyflywheel.com/features/#js-waypoint-
 connect-live easy to configure] [https://varyingvagrantvagrants.org/docs
 /en-US/references/https/ SSL certificates].

 The test is also listed under the Recommended Improvements section, which
 IMO correctly sets the expectation for the suggestion to the user.

 I think that this can be closed as `wontfix`, but I am marking this for a
 second opinion.
