Agree that website is simple, but it can be promotional on his end- it's good to show best practices. And his website clearly has a lot of traffic, a lot of engineers read it.

It’s not about impressing but it ensures that it’s safe for everyone and it’s clear that his website gets huge traffic.

The only thing that could be "unsafe" is your network connection, not his website.
