What is wrong with this Lighthouse audit? Can I install a PWA from http://localhost

I have a PWA that passes the Lighthouse audit on Chrome for an installable PWA but I never get prompted to install it and the "beforeinstallprompt" event never fires.

I am developing/debugging with http://localhost, which seems suitable for other tests, could this be the problem? I want to test my bespoke install prompt locally before deployment.
