Yes, which makes sense I guess, but localhost et al are already considered "secure origins" by that, so the features should be available regardless if you're doing TLS or not, if you're loading the document/page/application from localhost.
It often feels like the noose is tightening tbh. There are things that contemporary "evergreen" web browsers just flat out refuse to do without https.
I think this is where they document this... https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/prefer-secur...
which I got from this stack overflow answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/34161385
