It is a matter of self-identification. I take the phrase with a large dose of irony. If someone calls themselves a full-stack developer, I assume they mean "JS/CSS/HTML/<app language>/SQL" and this is especially likely in this case, since it's a SO poll.
But I still want some sense of awareness of the many layers on which web systems rest.
"Oh you're a full-stack developer? Great! In this job interview we will be designing a new TCP retransmission algorithm, configuring a CI/CD pipeline, debugging CPU microcode, negotiating with a law enforcement agency, and testing the FM200 system in the DC"

Caveat #1: far from the only factor. Caveat #2: increased risk of decision paralysis and (paradoxically) micromanagement.
