Well also, the low barrier to entry in the web development world means literally almost anyone can become a "developer" or an "engineer" just by following some stupid React / Vue tutorial. The problem is - this doesn't include knowledge fundamental to being a strong computer scientist - like understanding how a computer works or how data is stored and retrieved in memory.
I think the web offers a very limited slice of what folks can potentially learn about computing, and this is why many folks don't stick around in FE for long.
