Why do Google's links for Reddit sites open up the app on my phone, but direct links to the website I created just open the mobile site in browser?

Long story short I'm trying to make a html bookmark page linking my most commonly used websites. I started fooling around and learned each of the three links below despite going to the same page eventually does something different and I can't figure out why. When I type in

<a href ="https://m.reddit.com/r/all/">Reddit</a>

It links me to the mobile site NBD. But being curious why google searches redirected to my app when the standard link didn't I pasted in this link from my Android Chrome browser

<a href ="https://www.google.com/urlsa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.reddit.com/r/all/&ved=2ahUKEwi93qbIxoHoAhUPTKwKHS3dBDgQFjAAegQIBhAD&usg=AOvVaw3NcqXVxTIb975iB4TvWJEM">Reddit</a>

Neat! When I use this link it redirects to the app directly. But what is this link doing that the base link isn't? Why does one take me to the mobile site and the other take me to the app on my phone?

And furthermore if I use a shortened redirect address like this

<a href ="https://www.google.com/urlsa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.reddit.com/r/all">Reddit</a>

it links me to this redirect page like I took a screenshot of.

If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.
