Of course there are other jobs. I've never touched a web developer role, never touched JavaScript, never touched anything that generated html. There is plenty of software in the world. I came out of the Army 8 years ago and the sequence of roles I've done that didn't involve web dev include:

- Algorithmic trading implementation for a boutique hedge fund

- Ground processing for satellite imagery

- Tasking and orchestration of geointelligence product generation suites

- CI/CD pipeline and dev environment internal tooling and automation

- Platform engineering

- Unclassified to classified data scanning and transfer service

- Kubernetes cluster buildout and maintenance automation

All of these involved or still involve distributed systems sending requests and responses across a network, usually using http, but not once have I had to be concerned with executing code in a browser.
