I was unsure if goto-mode is a typo or some 3rd party package. Have you 
written that you are aware which way it is implemented?

List of recognized protocols is not a user option, it is hard-coded and 
unrelated to the browse-url-handlers:

defvar thing-at-point-uri-schemes

the list is rather long.

Developer must consider other features that may be affected by demanded 
changes. False positives are acceptable for thingatpt and 
goto-address-mode. For Org mode balance is different. Too greedy regexp 
to recognize links may have detrimental effect on export and publish, 
not to mention that links may need special treatment. In addition Ihor 
mentioned fuzzy links.

Generally agree, but browse-url should be ready to reuse its 
configuration in Org. I am afraid, it means less flexible browse-url.

Try to derive list of supported schemes from `browse-url-handlers'.

You may try to talk to `browse-url' developers if they are ready to make 
their package less flexible for the sake of Org mode.

And finally notice that goto-address-mode is unable to properly handle

     (test https://orgmode.org)

it considers closing parenthesis as a part of the link. In addition 
there are disclaimers:

     Customizations to this variable made after goto-addr is loaded
     will have no effect.
