Why are developers so obsessed with full stack title?

Recruiter: Now it says here you have experience with HTML, CSS, JQuery, JavaScript, SQL, C#, and NodeJS and that you are familiar with setup and administration of Linux and Windows servers.

Me: Yes that's correct.

Recruiter: Hmm okay, I’m just trying to determine if this role would work for you. It's for a Full Stack position, are you familiar with Full Stack work?

Me: …yes

Recruiter: Oh okay perfect, it's not on your resume so I wasn't sure. Can you add it? Now they are looking for someone that can do CSS but you only have CSS3, are you familiar with CSS too?

Me: …

This is why we strive for any sort of role that becomes the new buzzword of the business community. Soon it will be AI Afficionado just so the HR manager looking at the resume gets a little bit of excitement thinking they found the one instead of the 30yr developer in the pile next to them that contributed to Linux and has been programming since 8bit computers.
