HTML is made to be flexible by using CSS, LaTeX is a typesetting program. It sets the whole document to look nice in one specific view, which is the final PDF. Or mre precisely, LaTeX works best for printed media

There are efforts for web maths, which would close the gap considerably for rendering science articles.

Most of the other LaTeX features can be achieved with HTML, CSS and maybe JS. Or even Markdown + preprocessor.
