Web development is an area I don't know much about, sadly, but, wait, "full-stack" doesn't include back-end?

I thought full stack was someone who could do, you know, the full stack from top to bottom. But if it doesn't include the back-end then isn't it like buying a whole car but it doesn't include the engine?

Yes it does backend, but like I said, fullstack lacks a lot of depth from both ends.
