What a joke of challenge, there is still no browser 3D game that is a match to Infinity Blade, that Apple used to demo OpenGL ES 3.0 hardware in 2011.
Anyone serious about 3D gaming on the Web has to do streaming.

This isn't new at all, just one of the first things I found by googling "webgl demo."
WebGPU of course goes even further.
I think the real gap is just that people by-and-large aren't building real games on top of Safari. It's more lucrative to use the app store with its low-friction payment system.
At the same level, as a commercial game, not a tech demo scene.
I made a project a while back to port Minecraft's desktop version to the web and it runs decently-ish on a good computer with WebGPU (but takes a really long time to load)

There are business-level issues with web based AAA games, as I was alluding to before. Apple has a two-click payment system. If you failed a Candy Crush level and you needed to get up from the couch and get your credit card out of your wallet to buy more turns, no one would ever do it.
