Is it possible to make a native game in JavaScript?

Hello. Sorry if this is a stupid question, I have no experience and I'm just learning. Is it possible to make a native game in JavaScript?
I think it's possible with the help of Electron JS, but is it possible to add such a game to the play market or steam later? And can game engines like Unreal Engine be used during development?

For Unity, there is a port on JS + WebGL, but a completely native game will not work this way, there will still be a wrapper in the form of a browser.
Since Unreal Engine is C++ oriented, it could potentially be wrapped in a native node.js addon, but I haven't heard of anyone doing that.
I saw games on Electron.js in the incentive, but these were visual novels, which were essentially assembled from sprites and text on regular html

What does "native" mean?
In Android, a native application is written only in Java and Kotlin.
Everything else is frameworks. If you want to write in JS / TS and in a framework, then React Native is dear to you
