OpenURI portal w/o user granting permission

At least with a recent build of xdg-desktop-portal and
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, sending an
org.freedesktop.portal.OpenURI.OpenURI request does not always involve
the user granting permission first: For example, if the given uri
argument is in the form of a valid http URL, it is passed directly to
the browser to open it. (Only if the argument is of some non-URL form a
"Select application" dialog comes up.) Isn't that a privacy and
security issue?
