 As far as I can see, the `wp_http_supports( array( 'ssl' ) )` check
 introduced in [41605] is not useless, as not all sites support HTTPS
 requests due to outdated cURL, OpenSSL, or other configuration issues. See
 some examples in #25716, #25738, #26010.

 #42004 standardized all requests to `api.wordpress.org` on using the
 `wp_http_supports( array( 'ssl' ) )` check, so changing this one instance
 would be inconsistent.
