Yes, but it's user agent UI which is not really good in any of them.

Good error messaging is important and having styleable semantic elements would be helpful. It's tricky because you often need more than one error message per input, not just "required" but too big, too small, wrong format, etc.

Right. You can use browser validation and extract the error messages with JavaScript (to style them yourself, e.g. [1]), but there’s no solution without JS yet.
