You know what's the pattern or the tendency that I'm observing more and more? I think increasingly the perception is that the added value is in the frontend rather than the backend.

Why? Because the frontend is what users directly experience and also where you can most easily differentiate yourself from competitors.

Also, with things like Firebase and Serverless it looks like backend is becoming more and more commoditized.

Devs who only do backend should watch out, going forward they might be out of a job sooner than we think. Like it or not, I think the future is frontend (and for the time being fullstack is also still okay, but I fear that even that will largely go away).
