I think this is because running a production-ready system for millions of users is far more difficult than just "build" something. When we talk about the backend, it's more about how a backend system is designed, how to set up the infrastructure over several datacenters, etc. Implement the feature is esay.

Backend is harder to change than frontend, so it's important to make the right decisions early on. You want experts with years of experience, as the wrong choice can be very costly, or even fatal, later on.
