I don't completely agree, there are devs working on smaller/simpler apps or sites and they just do "the whole thing" (backend and frontend), often even as a solo dev. Not every app or site needs a complicated frontend which requires a "specialist".
Maybe the term 'full stack dev' is overvalued and more glamorous sounding than it deserves, but I do like the (old fashioned?) idea of a competent dev who can "do the whole thing" including analysis/design, coding, testing up to rollout and even admin.
P.S. neither backend nor frontend are generally "easy" or simple in any shape or form, and with bigger and more complicated projects you're often indeed better off hiring specialists in either of the two areas
That is true, specially with founders who have to do the whole thing without the need of specialists to get going. I think in this context (and the one you advocate for) is more an attitude than an aptitude. With that, I agree.
