As a fellow full-stack I agree. There's a joke I've told many times in interviews if they ask me to define what a full-stack engineer is, to which I joke "It means I do whatever the senior engineer doesn't want to do, which 99% of the time is front-end". The people I tell it to laugh, because it's funny but also because it's true. On the front-end you're dealing with more customer/users and it's inherently more of a servile role, while it's much easier to be stubborn, eccentric, 'powerful' in the tech-facing backend. I'd also wager there's a certain "tech purity" angle too, given the inherent reverence foisted upon lower level languages and programming fields that is seemingly rife. To play devil's advocate on myself, perhaps it's more that the higher end technical complexity challenges for Front-End aren't commonplace enough. I've had the fortune to work in a field where the level of necessary technical complexity on the front-end part of my job is very high, so ymmv
