The entire meme is about web-dev. That split between backend and frontend isn’t anywhere else. (And is stupid for the web too, but well, that’s what web-dev do.)
I mean, not quite. There should be a split between backend (logic) and frontend (presentation) even for desktop applications. It’s not mandatory, but simply much better design. The ‘interface’ with which your frontend code calls the backend is much like an API (as in an API is also an interface)
So there is no desktop program that calls to a remote server for information someplace? Maybe like a server database on what games you can join, player movements and speed who is online, maybe even what music you can play? Or maybe a mobile/phone app that does the same? A way to have a standard interface but get new and updated info delivered to you in that specific form? This information would be delivered from one specific place to another, maybe to your table/device.
Front end and back end happen in more environments than you think.
That being said I can get delivery to my terminal/cmd from a ton of places that have nothing to do with each other kind of like getting pizza and tacos delivered.
