Full stack means we do it because nobody else will.

I feel seen.

I might get that sentence embroidered on a pillow.

You don't have to be a full stack dev for that to happen to you

No, but when it does happen, you'll probably turn into one.

When it happens? That happened to me a long time ago. I’m still a backend developer. I can create UIs and I can spin up and manage docker CI infrastructure but I sure as hell don’t want to. A properly run company team should have separate professionals for UX, front end, back end, sysadmin, etc. Just because I am capable of doing those things does not mean I should.
