Was my edit wrong? (replacing bit.ly link with the actual link)

I suggested an edit to this answer, with the comment

replaced bit.ly with actual link

But it was rejected by reviewers (1, 2) with these reasons:

This edit does not make the post even a little bit easier to read, easier to find, more accurate or more accessible1. Changes are either completely superfluous or actively harm readability.

This edit deviates from the original intent of the post. Even edits that must make drastic changes should strive to preserve the goals of the post's owner.2

  1. It does make the post "more accessible" - if in future the short link is no longer accessible, replacing it with the actual link avoids confusion.

  2. How does my edit deviate from the intent of the post?

It's even mentioned here:

Was my edit wrong? If no, is there any way to notify the reviewers so that they don't reject these edits in the future?
