The decision tree at the bottom starts with "Full-Stack App?" but only lists Express and Nest at the "yes" branch.

Next.js does have an API functionality so it can also be used to create a full-stack app.

Being able to return JSON makes you "full stack" the same having wings makes a fly an airplane.
Yeah I think they should be switched
