This is handled by CSS. In order to not have links highlighted, there would need to be a CSS rule specified as @media print, either in the webpage CSS or in the default stylesheet.

Given that nearly all web pages have hyperlinks, I think that would look somewhat ridiculous, and annoy a user who is creating PDFs of several webpages. Furthermore, I'm not sure if it's possible to detect if the user has selected 'Save as PDF' under macOS, or is using a PDF printer driver under any OS.
