You say this in present tense which makes it seem like a generalization. This is also a mistake that non-technical managers (and others) often make. The frontend frequently rivals and sometimes exceeds the backend in complexity. It is very application specific.

Fair enough, although in the case of a complex browser-based application, the same problem exists. The "backend" is complex code that happens to run in the browser.
