Yeah, that’s my experience. The backend is an environment you control completely and has well-defined inputs and outputs specifically designed to be handled by machines. Front end code changes on a whim, runs who the hell knows where, and has to look good doing it.

    Plus for the front most people use very unsafe languages and glued together frameworks (JavaScript, typescript, react, Vue etc), whereas on the backend we can use proper type-safe, compiled languages with better abstractions (rust, scala,...) with proper unit and integration tests.
