Yes but these devices still require a large amount of UI design/interaction. I don't see how this would change the 'front-end' ecosystem much

Look at how different UI is from mainframe/green screens to the client-server apps of the 90s-00s to todays mainly web front ends. It has changed drastically over the past 40 years but still pretty much does the same thing. Provides the user a way to interact with computer/software/data.

Given how much "front-end technologies" seems to translate to "javascript / html / css" nowadays, I'd be incredibly shocked if it didn't.

Considering the fact that these are the de-facto UI languages for the World's most widely deployed platform (web browsers), do you think that javascript / html / css are going anywhere anytime soon?

1994 you: Considering the fact that these are the de-facto UI languages for the World's most widely deployed platform (Windows), do you think that the Win16 API is anywhere anytime soon?

While I see your point, you're comparing a closed-source proprietary platform to the web. Apples to oranges if you ask me

Even if Windows had been using X11/Tk or whatever back then, it wouldn't have made a difference.
