Section 13.2.1

server that can provide a current representation. Likewise, a server
MUST ignore the conditional request header fields defined by this
specification when received with a request method that does not
involve the selection or modification of a selected representation,
such as CONNECT, OPTIONS, or TRACE.

We do say "can be used with any method" regarding If-Match, earlier,
which is not very well aligned with this "MUST ignore".
