I'm not going to get into whether frontend development needs as much CS knowledge as backend (on the whole, because some backend is actually quite simple and requires 0 CS knowledge). What I will say is that even if frontend takes 0 CS knowledge , which is a more common sentiment than that about backend, you are severely underestimating the other skills required, which some people are not cut out for, just as some are not cut out for hard core CS.
