This isn't only happening in front-end.
Entire backend teams can become unnecessary using cloud services like Firebase, then the front-end devs are the only devs.
Also on the back-end, SQL is often not considered a programming language.
I wouldn't get all twisted about sematics, schemantics. What people probably mean is that CSS/SQL aren't general purpose programming languages. Maybe you can make a complete webapp in CSS or SQL, but I wouldn't want to maintain one.

It turns out the word program has multiple meanings but we get to define what it means in our industry and CSS/HTML sure as shit aint it.
