Interesting. It works, but I do not understand why!
Did you inspect HTML file? Playing with export, I do not see real
difference. Result is "\(1<2\)" even for $1<2$.
info "(org) LaTeX fragments" https://orgmode.org/manual/LaTeX-fragments.html
highlight some issues with $:
To avoid conflicts with currency specifications, single ‘$’ characters
are only recognized as math delimiters if the enclosed text contains at
most two line breaks, is directly attached to the ‘$’ characters with no
whitespace in between, and if the closing ‘$’ is followed by whitespace,
punctuation or a dash. For the other delimiters, there is no such
restriction, so when in doubt, use ‘\(...\)’ as inline math delimiters.
Do we consider
inequalities in $$ breaking HTML export expected behavior? Or, do we
consider it a bug? I suppose there exists no formal specification,
executable or not, to answer the question?
Tom Gillespie mentioned in another thread yesterday:

It would introduce incompatibilities with previous Org versions, but
support for $...$ (and for symmetry, $$...$$) constructs ought to be
removed.
They are slow to parse, fragile, redundant and imply false
positives. — ngz
