Well yes, and a subset of those is browser based. Besides that, most

Yes, absolutely.
Why?
I'm not convinced that having two ways of handling essentially the
same thing is good.
It's unavoidable, as the relaxed syntax doesn't work in many cases,
for instance, when whitespace acts as a delimiter.
Obviously you would first split on whitepace and then parse the URLs.
You can still use the same generic URL handling.
In which case IRI handling should be totally sufficient.
I don't follow. I said "I'm not convinced that having two ways of handling

Then I pointed out it is avoidable. And then you say this. It doesn't add
up.
