Ionic-framework: bug: Router links don't navigate when ion-segment-buttons are clicked on mobile devices

[wontondon]

Bug Report

Ionic version:
[x] 5.x

Current behavior:
When viewing clicking on a ion-segment-button which has a routerLink attribute, you are not navigated to the router link provided when using the Chrome mobile device preview mode or a physical device.

Oddly enough the page navigates as expected when clicked if you are using a normal browser window (and not the device mode). Also I was able to get the navigation to work by tabbing to the segment I want and hitting enter.

Expected behavior:
Clicking the ion-segment-button takes you to the route defined in the ion-segment-button routerLink

Steps to reproduce:
I have a sample app reproducing the issue.

1. Go to http://localhost:8100/tabs/tab1
2. Click on segment 1 (expected to navigate to http://localhost:8100/tabs/tab1/seg1)
3. Click on segment 2 (expected to navigate to http://localhost:8100/tabs/tab1/seg2)

<ion-segment>
    <ion-segment-button routerLink='/tabs/tab1/seg1'>
      <ion-label>Segement 1</ion-label>
    </ion-segment-button>
    <ion-segment-button routerLink='/tabs/tab1/seg2'>
      <ion-label>Segement 2</ion-label>
    </ion-segment-button>
  </ion-segment>

Other information:
I thought it might be related to #20381 which was fixed by https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic/pull/20522. This also has similar symptoms to #20466. It's possible this is a dupe, but I tried some of the newer dev builds 5.1.0-dev.202002272138.c1d7bf2 and I was still able to reproduce this issue.
