Unreal4 at least has been able to do it for quite a long time[1].

https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/SharingAndReleasing...

That said, nobody really releases games that way and nobody plays them that way. Not everything needs to be a web app.

No, Unreal can't export to the web using newer versions of engine actually.

And UE5 does not have support for it out of the box at all.

The header on the previously linked docs page brings us to the GitHub repo where Epic OpenSourced it as a plugin. The missing support can be confirmed in the issues. Seems like web support was quietly removed after all.

It was, because no one was using it and it isn't as if 3D Web is capable of stuff like Nanite.
