Additional Information
The field alias isn't showing in the web map because the web map was created before the alias was changed on the item page. When a web map is saved, the properties like field formatting (including aliases), pop-up configuration, styling, etc., are locked, so changes made at the layer item level are not available in the map unless the 'Reset to source layer properties' option available in the map's Properties panel is explicitly used. If the 'Reset to source layer properties' is used, changes made at the layer item level flow through to the map.Workaround
Remove and re-add the feature layer from the existing web map.
