Honestly, no. I think that most developers I've met who primarily do backend work and stay away from frontend web development don't like the rapid pace of change in the ecosystem and how complex it has become to develop client apps. You could have learned Java and SQL 10 years ago and still be making your money from it today, whereas you have to constantly keep up with the frontend JS ecosystem nowadays.
to me it's not about the constantly keeping up with things, that'd be the whole programming field. Yes the java guys still make money, but they also have to learn modern dev ops and architecture, and FRP and what not.
Earlier in my career I used to hate css. I still don't like it but it's not my pain point these days, my main gripe is rather the fact that people in FE generally show very little regards to established programming patterns and have a tendency to just invent stuff. I do react mainly and redux is just crippled event sourcing and hook is just some weird way to solve cross-cutting concerns, and context is... not for inversion of control. Stuff like that make me want to switch to back-end.
