I would assume someone has tried somewhere at Epic but I think the issue is not only targeting WebGL (as opposed to VK/OpenGL/D3D) but the sheer size of the assets a game like Fortnite has.

Epic has the money to fund development to make it happen on the technical side, but currently you'd need to download so much stuff that you'd be doing the same thing as their game launcher anyway.
