I don't think anyone actually types mailto: addresses into the address bar on a browser,
I just tried it (because why not)

* Google Chrome - launched my mail program and created a new message * Safari - asked if I wanted to let the page create an email message and (when I said “Allow”) did so. * Brave - asked if I wanted to let the page create an email message and (and when I said “Yes”) did so.
I was not claiming that it wouldn't work, just that people don't actually type it in as a general rule. Browsers will of course support it, because it's a standard thing to support for hyperlinks in pages (at least for people who don't mind addresses being harvested by bots).
