Could, but then Firefox (or more like Librewolf in my case) will complain of a self signed cert.
Plus it's silly. Imagine having every door in your home locked away, and in order to enter a room you have to get a keychain out of your pocket....!
So you're right. For localhost, SSL is absolutely unnecessary.
But at the same time I totally get doing it for testing purposes, so a message saying that it's a self cert/unencrypted is still welcome.
... Just not 5 seconds of waiting
