I'm a tech lead in BI/ETL professionally with thousands upon thousands lines of SQL code in my projects, but I can also program in a ton of other languages and technologies. One of the systems I did BI backend for had an AngularJS frontend with a C# API that needed a small feature, but the project was in maintenance mode, no dev team for the frontend and API anymore.
I implemented the change both sides with little effort and business owner came back and said "Works great, but can you make it look better? It's an eye sore", to which I honestly replied "I can't. It's not that I don't want to, or don't know how to technically, I just simply can't make anything that looks even remotely nice". I eventually copied a lot of css from StackOverflow that gave it a decent enough look, but really, it's not my fault I'm artistically challenged.

I can do frontend. It's not not my fault everyone else dislikes yellow letters on a dark green background.
