The same issues that make frontend harder to do to certain degrees of “right” also make it fuzzier – with backend, if its not done right it (perhaps intermittently) definitely, undeniably doesn’t work.
Frontend not done right is often fuzzier and debatable, so it is simultaneously harder to do frontend optimally and easier to do frontend well-enough to get away with.
This is, perhaps, why pure front-end work tends to pay less well. Quite a lot of the time, good enough to get away with is, well, good enough to get away with.
