To me the problem with "full stack" is the expectation of employees and recruiters.

Now we can have one person doing the job of two or three? Great.

If a full-stack developer does the job of a front end engineer, backend engineer and devops, it's only fair that they would get paid there times the salary.

Nothing wrong with being able to do some front end work and then switch to work on the backend / API to consume.
But each developer in this situation should really consider if they are being compensated fairly and if they work a reasonable amount of hours.
