'System.Uri' not supported in OData payloads?

Assemblies affected
ASP.NET Core OData 8.x

Describe the bug
I have a property in one of my models of type Uri.

And the odata serializer serialize the URI to :
{ "SiteUrl" : "Segments": [ "/" ] }

instead of:
{ "SiteUrl" : "www.google.com" }

Reproduce steps
Add a Uri property to a model mapped as an entitySet

Data Model

public class Site
    {
        [Key]
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Title { get; set; }
        public Uri SiteUrl{ get; set; }
    }

Response
{ "Id" : 1, "Title": "google", "SiteUrl" : "Segments": [ "/" ] }

Expected behavior
{ "SiteUrl" : "www.google.com" }

Additional context
https://github.com/OData/odata.net/issues/1929

Start with the ASP.NET Core OData 8.x serializer and reproduce the issue using the provided Site model with a Uri SiteUrl property. Compare the generated payload with the expected URL string and check the linked OData .NET issue for relevant context. Done means Uri properties serialize as their URL values rather than exposing URI segments.
