Hit ratio have not declined that much in the last decade. It's still
around 25-30% byte hit ratio and significantly more in request hit
ratio.

While it's true that a lot of the html content is more dynamic than
before there is also lots more inlined content such as images etc which
are plain static and caches just fine and these make up for the majority
of the traffic.

By default as if the response is not cachable. Somewhat stricter than
the specifications require, but more in line with what web authors
expect when using this directive.
