Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 We should remove the test when your site `is_ssl` and has detected errors
 because of the reasons outlined.

 But we should not remove the SSL verification from
 `wp_update_https_detection_errors`. Otherwise, a user may enable SSL on
 their site, thinking that their site supports it because we prompted them
 to in Site Health, but it in fact doesn't. And they'll wind up locked out
 of their site. A false negative is fine in this context, a false positive
 isn't.
