I didnt realize web devs are stigmatized in the industry, as a web developer

They are not. There is a stigma associated with the ecosystem I think.

People who can create beautiful and user-friendly interfaces are extremely valuable and respected.

But my experiences trying to set up a typescript project and the unbelievable number of frameworks and crazy things to navigate (mjs/cjs) made me yearn for the pains of the Python ecosystem again.

Web developers are, front end engineers are not.
