This is not specific to this arrow head. All arrow heads do. This is because you force a piece of a curved path to be straight, and this deforms the path.
You can use bending to cure this. It will rotate the arrow in such a way that the path does not get distorted.
documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{calc,bending}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[thick,-stealth]
($(0,0)+(0:1.45)$) arc
[start angle=0,
end angle=72,
radius=1.45] ;
draw[thick,red]
($(0,0)+(0:1.45)$) arc
[start angle=0,
end angle=72,
radius=1.45] ;
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
Notice that for this you do not have to explicitly bend the arrow.
If you bend it, then the arrow will follow the curve (to a very good approximation).
documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{calc,arrows.meta,bending}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[thick,-{Stealth[bend]}]
($(0,0)+(0:1.45)$) arc
[start angle=0,
end angle=72,
radius=1.45] ;
draw[thick,red]
($(0,0)+(0:1.45)$) arc
[start angle=0,
end angle=72,
