Perhaps a more concise rewording is as follows in the draft text below:

** Web Browser Bookmark (retain existing content) ** Captee (macOS) (retain existing content) ** Terminal/Shell Users with shell access can issue the URL request via command line utility. This utility is platform-dependent.

The scheme handler can be bypassed by direct invocation of ~emacsclient~. That said, on platforms like macOS this will lead to security restrictions that prevent its usage by 3rd party applications.
I have not experimented with flatpak/snap, but sandboxed applications on Linux do not have access to emacsclient and Emacs socket (at least by default) as well, so it is more general limitation. I hope, XDG desktop portal allows to dispatch URL having custom scheme. I would consider moving discussion of emacsclient vs. system URL handler to the parent section (before web browser bookmarklets).
P.S. Has anybody tried org-protocol with Emacs installed as flatpak?
