In bug#40269 the emacs maintainers probably feel file:/// isn't so
common, so not worth recognizing.
But http, and https are certainly common.
So how about emacs make an appropriate response when somebody does
$ emacs http://www.example.com/
"Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its parents"
is not an appropriate response.
As to what is, you decide.

No, that would be rather confusing.
But you've reminded me that you can't use Emacs as a MIME handler for
URLs, and that should really be possible.
So I've added the trivial eww-browse command to Emacs 28.1, so that you
can now say
$ emacs -f eww-browse https://gnu.org
and register Emacs as a handler for the text/x-uri MIME type with
emacs -f eww-browse %u
