This is to be expected, and I do think that Org is doing it right by not
replacing macros in links.

You cannot exactly control what is inside link path - if an actual
website link happens to contain {{{...}}} pattern, you will have no
options left how to prevent Org from replacing that pattern.

If you want to generate link paths programmatically, you can instead
define custom links types or link abbreviations. See
https://orgmode.org/manual/Link-Abbreviations.html and
https://orgmode.org/manual/Adding-Hyperlink-Types.html

You can control custom link export as well.
