It would be hard for Org to make that distinction in a stable way.  For
all it knows, the > might be part of the link.

Best habit is to always use [[..]] when you have a link
that contains spaces, just ignore the availability of
angular brackets as delimiters.  These were used historically
in Org before the bracket notation was introduced.

I am keeping that syntax for backward compatibility, but had
I had bracket links from the start, the angular bracket
representation would not exist today.

Best wishes
