hsts=off and hsts=no work as well

What to you mean? To my understanding, the HSTS options are not
different from the others.

It's the same pattern as with the rest of the options:

    --hsts: enable HSTS (enabled by default so no need to specify it)
    --no-hsts: disable HSTS

And in .wgetrc:

    hsts=1/on/yes: same as --hsts
    hsts=0/off/no: same as --no-hsts

This is all explained in the wget(1) man page (doc/wget.texi in the
source tree), in the section "Option syntax".
