If you want to call something simple like winit, GLFW or SDL a 'middleware' then yes. It definitely would not be a game engine in the popular sense like UE or Unity, those are way to bloated for most use cases such a minimal cross-platform wrapper would be good for. It would be something you could build a game engine on top though.
