Comment (by Clorith):

 You're quire right @SergeyBiryukov, the `rest_url` check is a remnant of
 the Health Check plugin (which did not have REST endpoints back then) I
 believe, so contextually in that regard it made sense to have the same
 check around the `wp_is_site_protected_by_basic_auth`.

 We should be able to safely just remove both those `function_exists()`
 checks here, as you mentioned.
