Some subset of iOS users prefers it when apps open links in an in-app browser (SafariViewController). The advantage is that you stay in one app and don't lose context instead of being redirected to a different app and have to go back, and you don't need to manually close the tab that was opened in Safari for you.
@mergesort.me:
I hate losing context, if I end up in another app there’s a good chance I’m going to be distracted and forget what I was doing. Especially when I click an article that takes 5-10 minutes to read, I’m not going to remember that I was browsing Bluesky and go back to that.
These two are hard to reconcile and they both have good points, it just depends on the personal preference. So it's pretty common for apps that include a lot of user-generated links, like social media apps, to have a switch in the settings which allows you to choose whether you want to open links in an in-app browser or in the system browser.

@mackuba I'm pretty sure I understand this right and you're referring to what mozzius added, which lets you open up the links in either the app or by opening safari/default browser. If not lmk.

Other subset of iOS users prefers it when apps redirect to Safari instead. Some arguments for this are listed here: https://pspdfkit.com/blog/2019/open-links-in-safari-not-safari-view-controller/
