Clickable URLs are very convenient. I have plenty of code that runs on remote machines and generates data that I'd like to view in my browser. Print the URL out, and I can click on it to open it up.
n.b. for me, in iTerm2, I have to press cmd to make the links highlight before I can click on them - so there's little danger of accidentally opening something you didn't want to.
Doing any DNS before clicking on the links seems like overkill, though. My browser can tell me if the URL is garbage or not.
