Is generating localhost certs and then accepting them in your browser once is that hard?

openssl genrsa -out key.pem 2048

openssl req -new -key key.pem -out certificate.csr

openssl x509 -req -in certificate.csr -signkey key.pem -out certificate.pem

if all development servers for all frameworks just did that on first run of a project it'd be so much easier.

I just stopped using languages that require a "framework" or "development server" with monster json/yaml configurations to run a web server. In Haskell, a change from http to https is switching from warp.run to warp-tls.runTLS function (with certificate paths set).
