Web developers spend most of their time in javascript - coding fronted where closures and functional programming matters a lot. Maintennable modern fronted is done that way.

They spend very little time staring at http error codes. Like, none.

Web development includes server-side, and that API the fancy JS code is interfacing with.

Node.js is javascript too :). Even there, error codes are something you maybe handle once when the project is setup and the rest of the time you deal with everything else.
