I agree that there is much more hype in the front-end world. There is also a HUGE amount of different frameworks to deal with that people get excited about. The back-end is more tried and true from my experience. It's not near as trendy, and people don't get all excited about new stuff, they dig in and learn the things that are needed. you do still get SOME hype around new tech like Kubernetes, or new language additions, but overall back-end development isn't nearly as glamorous. I see front-end teams get recognition for making the thing easier for end users or prettier, or whatever it is that they are doing. I see back-end devs refactoring monstrous api's and the only people that are aware are other developers. That's a thing, your mom might see the new front-end that you built and she can appreciate what you've done, but if you tell her about the new back-end that you built then she will likely just get bored and lose interest. I think that it is a personality difference between the two.
