UIs have become more complex in parallel to more sophisticated tooling. Most websites now use persistent state and are reactive, where before those features were not as widespread. So I would say it has evolved, and the entry point for FE dev is closer to typical app development than before (which was closer to design and scripting).

UI development will always be a thing of course. But the "front end dev" was a phenomena of the early days of the web, and needing someone to wrangle the insane complexity of the browser. Nowadays you just install some framework and off you go without any concerns for browser issues. And so it becomes like any other programming environment, where the average developer of any skill set can do it sufficiently.
