No https.

While https is a good default, and LetsEncrypt has made it relatively trivial, I wouldn't say this particularly needs it; there isn't any user data at all.

I suppose without TLS it could be intercepted and modified to return a malicious bash command, or something, but this random site on the internet could do that on its own without being intercepted anyway.

Who has more incentive to do so: the person that wants their site to have visitors, or a malicious attacker intent on MITM people in the first place?

What a ridiculous defense of insecurity.
