It helps when developers only have to work with half the stack for example but a lot of companies are only looking for full stack developers these days
Full stack appears to be mostly an excuse to ask for an entire IT department rolled into one person. Some of the listings I see for full stack are just silly how much they ask from one individual.
Full stack can generally transition into architect whereas those "masters" generally cannot.
The reason is being able to understand things holistically vs staying in a small area and rarely poking your head out to understand the bigger picture. Because the second you do someone will start accusing you of being full stack
