I'd imagine it's more common that a frontend dev moves to backend dev role.

From my experience a fullstack dev can be a lot more productive than two separate devs when it comes to adhoc work like bugfixes and adding small features.

Also they tend to have very good API design skills, since they understand both sides intimately.
