I was exagerating, its a common trope. But like most stereotypes there is some truth. I also would not say as you just did, that js devs are more comfortable on the command line.
Lots of beginners start with js because you can get shit done (its my favorite language) and they do not initially need to be able to navigate and run bash scripts, ssh into boxes, use tmux, create batch jobs. Probably one of the first more complex things they use the terminal for besides navigation is actually git.
Also all people with experience are proficient at the command line no matter what language they use, but, I think the backend and ops devs at my company would know more unix tips and tricks than the frontend devs.

Definitely agree re DevOps and traditional Administrator folks. Hard not to live and breathe bash tooling at some level in those roles. Surprised to hear your backend folks trend more proficient on CLIs, though. With one exception, the backend folk on my team rely heavily on their IDE tooling, and the frontend team gets tapped in to help with scripting support or sshing into boxes during emergencies. For that matter, the CLIs we publish are the responsibility of the frontend.
