I just tried this on Safari on my phone - I was sent to Realtor.com as well. I tried it a few times and was redirected each time, even though I typed "realty.com" in the URL bar (and it didn't auto-correct before I hit "Go").
I received my new American Express and, when trying to enter the URL on the sticker, Safari suggested a phishing site as the "top result". I tried reporting this to both Apple and AMEX but never received a response :(
Maybe worth semi weaponizing it? Make your own phishing page that gets into this list (easier said than done) and as soon as they click the sign in button (pre credential entry) splash a page explaining that Apple is busted?
I've just tried this on both macOS and iOS. macOS 10.15.5 Safari 13.1.1 Tested 4 configurations: Search engine: DDG vs Google Wipr adblock extension on/off. In all four cases: Typed in realty.com and hit enter - got realty.com. Typed in sketch and hit enter - got search results for the word sketch. Tested exact same configurations (DDG/Google, Wipr on/off) on my phone. iOS 13.5.1 on iPhone XR Same results as above. I…
I see the same behaviour down under. I wonder if Siri has got anything to do with it? Mine is always disabled.
EDITED: Sorry, I just realised, I'm not sure if you meant you're seeing the same behaviour as me, or as everyone else.

Edit: I have “Suggestions in Search” turned off, maybe that’s it?
On the OSX side, the 'search' pane of settings has Safar Suggestions and Quick Website Search on, has preload top hit and show favorites off, and has DDG as the search. On IOS I have DDG as the search, and have Search Engine Suggestions, Safari Suggestions, and Quick Website Search on, and Preload Top Hit off. And have Frequently Visited Sites off.
It is worth mentioning that OSX Safari offered 'realtor.com' as a 'Top Hit' suggestion below the address bar, which I could have chosen with a quick downarrow, return, but at no point did it try to fill in autocomplete for me.
I almost wonder if this is happening to the owner of realty.com because they have spent a lot of time looking at realtor.com while building a site that competes with it, and Safari now thinks this is a site they really love to go to. — EDIT. Oh no I missed the part where there are videos of this being done on demo iPhones at the Apple store. Crazy! And not good.

> I searched "sketch" the other day and it took me to "sketchers.com" I got curious and tried the same, with the same results. And I have never before bought shoes online, ever. But it's even worse than you said: the website is actually "skechers.com", with no t. So, when you type "sketch", Safari is guessing that you're misspelling the name of a shoe retailer.
I'm a bit confused... I just typed "sketch" in Safari on my phone. The first suggested result was indeed skechers.com. But then I hit enter (so the total keystrokes were "s k e t c h return") and it did a search in my default search engine for "sketch". Which is what I expected. so what am I doing that you're not?

On iPhone 11 Pro and updated Safari typing “sketch” and pressing “go” leads to sketchers website. Have to click on “google searches” to get other results.

I've got Siri enabled. It's odd. EDITED: Sorry, I just realised, I'm not sure if you meant you're seeing the same behaviour as me, or as everyone else.
