Not always true though.
The target hardware is different between the game industry and the web industry.
Games focus on delivering best graphics with the latest hardware, whereas websites should care about the compatibility first.
Even though modern web browsers auto update, it does not update the underlying hardware. That is, many non-latest smartphones that do not support Vulkan won't support WebGPU neither. We need to wait for years to safely use WebGPU.
