Why does lemmy have it, so any link takes you off the page instead of opening in a new tab or window?
It is a simple line of code and the entire site does this or add target="_blank" to every hyperlink, and it will do the same thing. It sucks that you have to right-click every link to open in a new tab or window and it is such a simple fix.

If you can, contribute to the code. You can do a pull request if you want.
There might even be discussions on it which you can vote on.
Eventually it would be nice to have a toggle in the settings. Could keep the current behavior as the default and let users change it
At the very least, file a bug report 👍
No, because it's not a bug.
Please don't clutter actual bug reports with feature requests or design discussions.
