Are you saying that backend devs now need to know complex JavaScript to create all the complex components that require visual effects, transitions etc. Backend devs would rather stay away from JavaScript. Creating a responsive calendar widget, drag & drop components in JS etc. in JavaScript can become very complex. That's the job for frontend devs.
I seriously have to ask what makes you think backend devs don't like/understand/whatever JavaScript, and what you consider complex. Is it about knowing how to add an event listener for the drop event and adding a class with some transition css? Or is it about higher order functions, streams or actually understanding how promises work? I switched to nodejs at v0.6, mostly to save the mental burden of switching languages between FE/BE (did c#, python and perl among others - yes perl for backend over CGI), and did most of backend work in js/ts ever since. Some backend devs indeed would stay away out of some principle but it's just as narrow minded as the other way around.
Check the book "JavaScript alongee" for my idea of advanced. Or "The little lisper" if you feel adventurous.
