Did they block Whatsapp Web on mobile browsers?

I am pretty sure that I successfully connected to Whatsapp Web from a mobile browser an year or two back. I opened the site www.web.whatsapp.com, the usual desktop interface showed up, and I scanned the QR code using a whatsapp account on another phone, and I was logged in from the mobile browser just as I'd be from a desktop browser. When I try it these days, as of 2020, it doesn't happen. The url www.web.whatsapp.com is automatically and invariably redirected to www.whatsapp.com.

Did they purposely block this avenue, or is it something to do with my devices?

Was this feature undesirable to Whatsapp in any way?

You have to tell your browser to open it as a desktop site.

On iPhone: click on Aa letters in the browser and click "Request Desktop Website".

On Android: click on three dots in the URL section and check "Desktop site".
