Its not that there isn't such a thing as expert full stack developers, it's just exceedingly rare. I work with several. Most front end engineers are required to have strong grasp of their backend. I wouldn't expect someone to have advanced SQL skills but I'd expect them to be competent enough to know what to do.
The code I write effects about 10% of Americans in a major economic sector. Some of the singular services we offer would be another companies entire product. We are operating at a large scale but nowhere near Twitters size. To give you a rough estimate, 1 of our 30 services costs about 500k per month to host on AWS. We regularly close 25m+ contracts and are consistently gaining market share.
Edit: If your microservices are "monoliths in their own right" I'm not sure I'd ride as high a horse as you are.
Without showing you any code, it's hard to tell you why. We aren't making to-do apps :). One man's microservice is another man's monoliths. It depends on the size and scale of your product.
I don't know what type of company you're with or how long you've been in industry, but when you do hit those big data/scale problems you'll see what I mean.
That's why you are where you are. You conjured up insults out of nowhere in your own head. You said it yourself, you've never worked at scale so what would you realistically know about it? For a developer you're pretty piss poor at logic.

I didn't see an argument only a discussion. Juniors get so sensitive.
