There are plenty of anti-spam schemes that fetch all the URLs in a
message to see whether they're malicious.  That's why ESPs usually
have a landing page with a confirm link, and why we wrote RFC 8058
which defines a one-click opt-out link that uses POST rather than GET,
since the URL malware fetchers all do GETs.
