I have a vague memory of writing it that way 14 years ago as a stop-gap for
launch (you had to be logged in instead of handling some confirmation
page), and it's possible it's been copied and even degraded through the N
rewrites and expansions (ie, GSuite groups) since then.
At the time, I don't think any mail clients actually supported
List-Unsubscribe, so it was mostly just to encourage eventual adoption
anyways.

In any case, it's way past time that it was made to work correctly, I've
filed a bug against the groups team to that affect, but I would expect a
proper solution to take some time.

The mailto/email based version should work, and it's the one that's used in
the footer.
