Modern web development is dumbed down by shared APIs abstracting most of the hard problems into patterns (arguably a good thing as there is way more consistency in web dev than infrastructure), but the concepts are still quite complex. Heck, React alone is a fairly complex piece of software that 90% of its users take completely foregranted let alone understand why it became a popular choice. Low-level front end is no joke
