Frontend is the entry level field for all those people who were not developers but wanted a slice of the salary pie. Designers, architect, lawyers. I've seen everything. I know a few React engineers in my company who can make components and be productive - but they don't know JavaScript and they get stuck when something is slightly different from what they're expecting. Similarly I'm mentoring a few engineers who started with react and are trying to learn backend and other languages. Being the field where all the least developer figures start means you'll have tons of people, tons of visibility, tons of cargo culting and tons of crap being built just to make you look cooler. I'm guilty of this as well, I have my frontend framework on GitHub and it's quite useless - even if it's a nice idea. Of course nobody bothers to maintain stuff and everything is trying to make money on their junior devs fanboys.
