Thats a very junior take.

Extremely narrow focus makes one visibly worse off since topics in real world are never so narrow and to deliver anything complex in any engineering one has to understand cascading consequences of every complex decision. And what is software than series of complex decisions, usually about how to handle and secure data for backend and talk to user in frontend.

Without understanding how prod is actually used, monitored, how things are fixed etc its almost impossible to design, deliver and maintain any software worth its salt in any company.

Come to interview with such attitudes and if you ever get hired it will be for lowest pay scale. Given current market for juniors it would probably not be nice for you.
