Comment:

 I'm going to side with the other comments here, it's not really an
 incorrect warning, you are not using HTTPS.

 It's very unlikely that you'll be trying to check your site health on a
 local development installation, and if you are, you likely know that you
 can skip that check if you wish to do so.

 As @desrosj also mentions, most localhost tools have ways to set up self-
 signed certificates for testing, which would self-resolve this item.

 I'll also add in that there's a [https://wordpress.org/plugins/site-
 health-tool-manager/ management plugin] you could use to turn off checks
 you find irrelevant in your test setup.
