Business logic and frontend SHOULD NOT BE USED in the same sentence.
If you're adding business logic to your frontend, then your design is pretty flawed and should be rewritten.
You're always warned to avoid adding even a line of business logic to the frontend, backend
Even at the the backend, the business logic has to be split into layers with each layer inside its own interface and independent/separated from other layers.

It is not flawed.

It depends on the project you are working on. You are seeing frontend as just a rendering platform.
Your project determines that.

Example, what if based on your project you want to just use a 3rd-party to save/retrieve data and use a backend-service as a proxy?

You need to work on variety of projects to understand that one does not outweigh the other, but most times the backend has to do more because more projects want to take off the heavy lifting from the frontend.

Also, I understand you are going deep to DDD. This is high level logic and the context is not design, but rather comparison between frontend and backend.

Lol... If you are comparing frontend to backend based on just CRUD, and you feel backend is only based on CRUD, then you are ill advised my friend.

Being a backend developer, you MUST have the basics of a frontend developer, like it or not.
Yes, most applications are based on CRUD, but then, have you as a frontend developer ever wondered the amount of processing that goes on behind the scene?
Take for simple instance, a simple result processing application. Have you ever wondered the amounts of logic required to do the computation of the results behind the scene?

And yes, it is the job of the backend developer to do the coupling of the "YEYE" database, business logic and the frontend.

In many cases, especially in Nigeria where there are no boundaries, the backend developer plays a vital role in setting up the deployment environment (which I am almost sure you have no idea of). Don't worry, I am not talking about whogohost, Bluehost and the other click and upload environments. Talking managing VPS, load balancers, multitier architecture, caches, multi authentication, distributed systems, etc. As a backend developer, it is a requirement to have basic knowledge of these. Let me just stop here[

Please, don't get me wrong. I am not saying frontend is unsophisticated or easy. When you start using a lot of JavaScript and frontend frameworks like ReactJS, Angular, Vue,Ember, BackboneJS and the rest of them, frontend too get quite complex in it's own way.

But then, comparing frontend to backend, get your facts right.

Cheers!

In this case you’re not just doing the work of a backend, you’re also doing the work of a devOPS, a Software Architect and also a Quality assurance executive.

But, backend itself may not be as difficult as frontend on some projects. You should also note that, there is devOPS, architecture and the likes on frontend too.

None is more difficult than the other. The difficulty depends on the project.

I think it is very wrong to claim that one is much more difficult than the other.
The difficulty of each depends on the project. There are some projects that embed majority of the business logic on the frontend, and there are also some projects that embed most of the business logic in the backend.

Also, don’t forget that there are some project that the backend has to service not just the frontend, but also the mobile APPs and maintain the APIs.

However, the pay depends on the skill set, your project and the importance of your role in the project.

E.g if I am building a product that needs to do lots of complex logic and data manipulation which just requires rendering on the front end, the backend would definitely be paid more.

On the other hand, if the majority of the logic is handled by the frontend, then the frontend would be paid more.

Anyone that outrightly states that one is better than the other either has no experience doing both on different projects or is too biased to agree that the dynamics of the difficulty can change.

Do you know Esau lost the privilege of being an ancestor of Jesus cos of that act? Now playing with Bible accounts like that shows we don't appreciate sacred things because Esau knew very well what lies ahead being the first son of Isaac, Abrahams Son who through him the world will bless themselves, but he instead threw it away for a mere pot of Stew.

Esau couldnt have in any way became the great ancestor of Jesus. Mind you, it was not the sold birth right that caused.... "jacob have I loved, Esau have i hated" na God talk am, even before them born them......
