Is there some technical explanation for why so many games seem to have that bleached pastel look on pretty much everything that's in direct sunlight?

I'm guessing it's some UE default most of the time, but practically every time I look at game footage or screenshots and immediately think "yep that's a game" it's because of... whatever is doing that.

Seems like some tonemapping operator that desaturates highlights or something.
