They do already prevent fake links. Their markdown doesn't work if you have the http scheme in the url, which is why the link in the thumbnail says steamcommunity.com instead of https://steamcommunity.com

Sure, but an average user is not going to know to check for the URL protocol. It's still incredibly effective for phishing

Yeah that's fair.
