I have long said that frontend development is fundamentally easier than backend development. However the whole frontend industry sort of took that and as a jungian response started building the most complicated systems possible to show text on screen so that they are also considered as "real developers." But the thing is, there is a reason why frontend developers are considered lesser compared to software engineers and that's because it is indeed easier and less complicated.

We have also done a horrible job by making people learn javascript as their first language. That has further made this problem bad because new script kiddies come in with very poor fundamentals and make the frontend even more bloated and unusable.
