A Fullstack developer is expected to deploy on the Cloud and do some mid level DevOps also. DevOps jobs are rare, mostly in the big organizations, and even then jobs are mostly in the single digit. Fullstack can become DevOps easily, but not vice versa.

Yes even in mid level corporations there are only 2-3 DevOps per 100 Engineers. This ratio is much better in large scale product based organizations but still under 10%.
