The value is really not in sharing code, but rather sharing developers. Instead of having to assemble and keep happy a diverse group of specialized professionals, you can just hire and fire a bunch of cheap JS folks, who are easily replaceable.

Offshoring already takes care of the cheap developers part.

When people get what is peanuts in local currency of the owner company, whatever they are using doesn't matter and most sweet shops are experts in everything.

I can also tell that at the level I work on, salaries are the same regardless of FE, BE, DevOps, ...., specially because no one has a single role.
