Yes, and they should live by their choice and implement whatever is implied by their semantics.

URLs also have their own affordances and I expect to be able to act upon them.

Url hacking is a clunky and extremely uncommon method of navigation. It should be the least of the website's concern. We don't design our doors based around the 0.01% of people that get in by kicking them down.
