Link Web Part Not Generating Preview
It seems like a bug - especially considering that the Use the Link web part page shows a preview image to an external site.
I'll report it to MS Support and report back.

Norman Young- Yes, I'm getting odd behavior. The previews for all of those links are partially working for me now also IF I don't type a space after URL. For some reasons, if I type in a space after the URL on each of those links, I get a "There's not preview available for the link." message.
This isn't serious since the workaround is to simply not put in a space at the end of the URL, but even when I don't put a space at the end of the URL, I still only get a limited quality preview.
For example in SharePoint with the Link Preview web part I get this limited preview:
but in MS Teams, I get this much richer preview:
So I have two oddities. The first is not serious since there is an easy workaround (just don't put a space at the end of the URL), the second is a little disappointing because the SharePoint Preview seems to be of a lower quality than the MS Teams preview. The second problem is not necessarily restricted to https://www.uark.edu . There are other URLs that also seems to display in "full" preview for me in MS Teams but "limited" preview for me in the SharePoint Link WebPart.
Shawn Earythe Teams link preview does seem like a richer experience. Perhaps the SPO Link web part may get the same treatment down the road.
Glad to hear you have found a work around.
