What is the benefit of using HTTPS for this particular use case?

[t0mas88]

Some browser functions only work over https, localhost is the exception. So if you change localhost:5173 to myapp.vibe it needs a valid certificate.

And localhost being the exception is often quite painful - I've stuck into several projects that worked just fine on localhost, and then were a pain in the neck to convert to run in secure contexts
