Comment:

 Duplicate of #52886.

 I'm closing this as the duplicate because it already was closed, but the
 discussion should continue on #52866.

 > it's easy to break a link by setting its scheme to `https` when the site
 doesn't support HTTPS.

 I agree that `https://` hardcoded in the function could create broken
 links. However, the other ticket gives the example of social links, which
 should support HTTPS. I like the idea of using `$protocols`.
