Does anybody have any reasonable explanation for that?
Can you imagine if we let websites display a completely

"friendly URL" in the address bar of your web browser?
No, I can't, and that's exactly what those mail clients are doing -
they
display a "friendly name" which can be anything.
It's been a while since I checked, but it used to be that a web server
could instruct the browser to display any URL by setting the Location
header (but NOT refreshing.) There are definitely sites where the URL in
the address bar never changes as you navigate the site, even to pages
which actually have their own unique URLs.
Apple's Safari browser by default truncates the URL in the Address bar
and changing that to show full URLs is hidden in the "Advanced Settings"
preference pane.
