"u runs the command shr-copy-url, which is an interactive compiled Lisp
function in ‘shr.el’.

Copy the URL under point to the kill ring.
If IMAGE-URL (the prefix) is non-nil, or there is no link under
point, but there is an image under point then copy the URL of the
image under point instead.
If called twice, then try to fetch the URL and see whether it
redirects somewhere else."

The problem with this is the user thinks that u is safe to just copy
links. Well a second press (no matter how it happens) ends up telling
the spam site 'Yes the user read your spam mail. Send more.' or worse.

What do you expect Emacs to do differently?

Have the dangerous commands mapped to a different key,
not piggybacked on a usually safe key.

Here's a patch to split out dwim behaviour into separate commands.  I'm
not sure if we should favour safety or convenience for the default
keybindings.  Thoughts, anyone?

Subject: [PATCH v1] Split shr-copy-url dwim behavior into separate functions
 (Bug#26826)

* lisp/net/shr.el (shr-url-at-point, shr-probe-url)
(shr-probe-and-copy-url, shr-maybe-probe-and-copy-url): New functions,
split out from `shr-copy-url'.
(shr-copy-url): Only copy the url, don't fetch it.
(shr-map): Bind 'w' and 'u' to `shr-maybe-probe-and-copy-url', which
has the same behavior as the old `shr-copy-url'.
