I think the biggest difficulty in front ends is that they are statefull. Backends are usually stateless and pass through data from a data store or a cache.

It's the opposite. Frontends are statefull (backends are often also), but frontends don't deal with long living data. Everytime the app/site is reloaded/restarted, it starts with a fresh state. Backend however often has accumulated a lot of data tech debt over the time.
