Just because you don't care doesn't mean nobody cares. I don't want anyone snooping on what I browse regardless of how "safe" someone thinks it is.

My navigation habits are boring but they are mine, not anyone else's to see.

A server has no way to know whether the user cares or not, so they are not in a position to choose the user's privacy preferences.

Also: a page might be fully static, but I wouldn't want $GOVERNMENT or $ISP or $UNIVERSITY_IT_DEPARTMENT to inject propaganda, censor... Just because it's safe for you doesn't mean it's safe for everyone.
