Internet can fully run without JavaScript, so no. :p
The problem with this kind of terms is not among the developer community, it's in the outside world: there are a lot of managers, recruiters and so on who are not looking to developers, or front-end developers, or JavaScript developers. Instead, they are wanting a React developer, an Angular developer, a WhateverStuff developer, because they think your knowledge is not portable, they think you won't be efficient and valuable, and they end thinking that if you don't fully match a subset of ideal skills, you aren't even worth meeting.
And the first people suffering from this kind of segmentations, at the end, are the developers.
How’s it going, I'm a Adam, a Full-Stack Engineer, actively searching for work. I'm all about JavaScript. And Frontend but don't let that fool you - I've also got some serious Backend skills.

That's just my two cents on this topic.
That said, thanks for your article. 👍
Iv said it before il say it again, it's like asking for a sausage roll mechanic instead of a baker.
