I’m not really sure there is a satisfying answer here other than making a setting for it. If I disable this feature outright then ip addresses will not show up as links. If I enable it then you get the issue you see. In either case I would assume that this is a pretty rare case. I’ll add it to the road map.
I’m not sure if you know this but a lot of websites are accessible by their IP address. As an example 1.1.1.1. It’s definitely a niche use case but it sometimes happens because sometimes a website doesn’t have a domain name or in cases where there are DNS issues. Another use case is linking to a local host. Eg. 192.168.1.1 which is commonly used for a router or 127.0.0.1 which is called a loopback IP.
Anything from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 is a valid IP address. Of course some IPs are more common than others based on the context. Certain ranges are used for certain things.

But why would anyone share an IP address that must be clickable?

Yeah but in that case, if someone wants to share an IP address, why not use the markdown link method?
Fair enough
Also, ip address dont lool like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx most of the time, they look like x.x.x.x or xxx.xxx.x.x :))
