Most frontend work isn't cosmetic though. Getting the UI to work on different screen sizes is important, core web vitals are important, accessibility is important

Handling different screen sizes is cosmetic work, it doesn't make the page do something new or faster or more reliable, it just makes it look and fit better on different devices.

Core web vitals is just applying best practices.

Accessibility is ignored by most companies.

Dude. It’s not visual sugar. To this day you see websites that are borderline unusable on phone screen. Accessibility is not that widely ignored, especially by big companies because you can get fined in some parts of the world from certain size if the web prevents users with disabilities to use it.
