It does look a bit like a URN (it does not have slashes in its “hier-part”), but it isn’t actually one as per RFC 8141, as its scheme isn’t “urn:”. tel: URIs were standardized in RFC 3966 in 2004 (*) and can be used for a form of app integration in areas where phone numbers are still useful. Turning everything that could be phone number (but in real life is a package tracking number in 95 % of the cases) into something that is called when clicked irks me a lot in iOS; it only was a matter of time for macOS to develop the same usability problem.
