Because Org doesn't know squat about URI schemes and uses ad-hoc parsing and manipulation rather than splicing it all out according to the spec. Besides, why is three leading slashes even a problem? IIRC, POSIX says that any number of leading slashes (except when starting with exactly two, which are system dependent and are usually interpreted as a UNC path) should do exactly the same thing as a single slash.
