There's a bit more to frontend than knowledge of a framework. I can find my way around a Vue or React codebase, and I'm reasonably competent with CSS and associated frameworks, but there's a deep knowledge of the DOM and vanilla APIs, W3 standards, accessibility, device and browser differences and so on that really make a good frontend developer stand out. Often it's the frontend dev in the room - not the UI/UX experts - who calls out accessibility and usability concerns, as they've spent years working in the nuts and bolts of UI/UX.

If you moved to full server-side tomorrow and used Phoenix/Hotwire/HTMX/whatever, these skills would still be invaluable.
