That's an honest criticism that does not intend to devalue frontend. But there's an overlap where "over-complicate" may imply that frontend (tools) should be uncomplicated.

Having only done a few frontend projects in recent years, I see obvious value to new, more powerful CSS selectors and even things like Tailwind. I can't read Tailwind yet, but making intuitive user interfaces that work well on all kinds of devices for all kinds of people (screen readers?) is difficult and should not be expected to be simple, IMO. But this is a matter of opinion.

The ones most qualified to deal with that issue are, obviously, experienced frontend devs and they build these things.

I agree with everything you said, that's fair. But I do not remember having to much difficulties coding UI interfaces in Qt while supporting numerous end-user configurations.
