Yeah but the impact of race conditions on front-end code (which is always single user) is minimal; unlike the backend where it's catastrophic and not fixable by refreshing the page.

It is fixable by refreshing the page if there are no race conditions in the front-end.

If anything getting this right on the front-end is often extra problematic because of the high cost of round-tripping state to the server.
