Well, they sort of do, because those terms don't map so cleanly when you begin spreading into a multi-tiered architecture.

You could easily end up with 'server side' work, which exists solely to augment or support a UI, and is not part of the 'core' business applications/services.

I worked in infrastructure and to us 'frontend' meant user-facing services while 'backend' are services that only other services are talking to.
