I don't think they should be, and I don't think that belief is as prevalent anymore. But when I was starting out, there was a real divide even between people who wrote server code and people who wrote front end code for the same product, let alone among programmers who worked on lower level or more abstract things. I assume because the web jobs were newer, and more people back in the 90s-00s had moved into those jobs from places other than the traditional CS or engineering professional tracks. But I always felt like web development was really, really hard to be good at.
