Have you ever heard of WebGPU? It's the equivalent of Vulkan, Metal, and Direct 3D 12 in the browser, and it's shipping in less than a week in Chrome, with Safari not far behind.
The MVP 1.0 of WebGPU.

Plus after all these years there are hardly any development tools that can match native ones for GPGPU debugging.

One always has to try to filter the browser own 3D calls from the user application usage.
