The tag in HTML is not supported in NVDA and thus can lead to missunderstandings in readings. e.g. consider the following homepage:
{https://www.alternate.de/html/help/provider.html}
Type h to get to the "Kontakt" heading. You find the telephone number below. Note the last digit of the number is two which is prefixed by the tag which is not shown at all. Thus people will think that the last digit belongs to the phone number, too.

NVDA does recognise this as superscript. You can either report it on demand using NVDA+f or you can turn on reporting of font attributes. Having this on by default would be annoying in most cases, as the user would then hear bold, italic, underline, etc. In this case, superscript is important, but perhaps in other cases, bold/italic/underline is important. Unfortunately, it's impossible to have defaults which handle every scenario well.
