You missed the point of it.
I had in mind another person: Re: URLs with brackets not recognised. Wed, 12 May 2021 22:06:50 +0200.
I disagree. URLs are well-specified. Per RFC 3986, the characters allowed in a URL are [A-Za-z0-9\-._~!$&'()*+,;=:@\/?]. Org mode should implement proper URL detection, not asking its users "to give it some hints" and using "a kind of heuristics". A string either is a valid URL per the relevant RFCs or it is not.
You probably decided that I was writing about https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=58774 [WISH]: Let us make EWW browse WWW Org files correctlyThat is from my point of view is an excellent example how to bury a valid feature request "allow me to do" by aggressive demand "it must be by default" disregarding unresolved security issues and by adding more noise by discussion of unrelated stuff (should Org files have text/... or application/... mime type).
Back to the topic, URI handling packages have incompatible features. It is the reason why users have to had explicit configuration.
