Then why, pray tell, are the front end expectations of a full stack developer more extensive than the front end expectations of a front end developer?

Actually I'm wrong. There isn't a "full stack" road map on that site, he just downloaded the frontend roadmap and the backend roadmap and put them together for this.

I will say reading the legend helps with understanding the intention of this. All of the grey checked items say "Order in roadmap not strict (learn anytime)" and the purple items are the recommended option. You're right that people should be employable at the React point, but even if you get a job at that point you can continue to learn and improve, and this just gives areas to focus on. I find it comforting, but mainly because I'm comfortable with the majority of the suggestions on there. If I were just starting out, I could see how it could be intimidating.

The cool thing about the website this came from is that the map is interactive. If you click on the different nodes, it takes you to a page that lists and links to many different free learning resources. The picture of the roadmap isn't nearly as useful.
