Is it not possible to be highly competent at playing the piano and also at carving wooden sculptures? Or not possible to be a master of C++ _and_ CSS? That just doesn't make any sense. Perhaps your views are more a reflection on people getting pigeonholed at large companies, or otherwise choosing to specialise? Or something like that? I personally think it's hard to be a _really_ good frontend dev without a chunk of more general development experience. What wider experience will you draw from to solve hard frontend problems otherwise? If your Angular/React app isn't performant enough because of the computations it needs to do or allocations it needs to make, how big is your mental toolbox to fix that if you haven't done more general backend dev work? It's all just software, ultimately.
