Neither of those links are valid images themselves, they are both
redirects. The following works though:
\starttext
\externalfigure[https://tug.org/images/logobw.jpg]
\stoptext
I can't seem to get the second one to work since its redirected URL is a
bit odd.

I have no idea if ConTeXt would ever follow redirects before, but I
agree that it would be a useful feature.
Thanks,
