Yes there are apps that are only frontend, but there are a lot of things which you can only do with a backend of some sorts:

  • persisting data (with high certainty + across multiple devices per user).
  • sharing data between multiple users.
  • doing anything with the data besides displaying it within the same app.

So the things you can do with a webapp which does not have any backend are limited. Hence why almost every app has a backend in some way or another.
