In backend dev, it's almost non-negotiable for what I would consider to be obvious reasons but I still see a learning curve for developers coming from self-taught or bootcamp backgrounds. On the frontend, I guess you could make the argument that it's not as relevant but I still don't fully buy that after watching the last ten years in frontend development trends with React, etc. The whole thing just seemed like a way to escape the basics of dealing with web servers, basic HTTP, server-side development in "icky blue-collar" languages (anything not-JS or TS), deployments, SQL, etc. Everyone has their biases and I'm no exception but this has been my experience.
