There is only so much someone can specialise in. If a candidate reads a UX design book thats less time for the JS: another 100 corner cases book, and they’ll flunk those fussy tests with 90% instead of the other guys 99%.

Realistically for max pay they will learn less about design and up their coding game learn the next NZXT.js thing and Watnot and stay sharp for interviews as just a full stack dev doing just 5 different jobs.

I mean agree. And I didn't necessarily mean that we'd want the frontend dev to do production design work. However, a savy UI dev that can prototype useful UI's, as well as make production UIs look and interact like production designs seems reasonable.
