I think the increasingly common desire people have to work for themselves leads to full-stack really meaning full-stack. There are few options: 1) work for a company that employs a designer, 2) work for yourself and pay a designer, 3) work for yourself on something with no GUI, and 4) work for yourself and be able to design. Of those, option (4) is the most tenable for working on something of your own that might make some money without requiring a lot of initial investment.

But I do agree with you that on job descriptions, "full-stack" tends to stop at javascript.
