In the 20 years I've been in the industry, boiler plate has dropped dramatically in the backend.

Right now, front end has tons of boiler plate. It's one of the reasons AI hassle such a wow factor for FE, trivial tasks require a lot of code.

But even that is much better than it was 10 years ago.

That was a long way of saying I disagree with your no.

FE has a lot of boilerplate only if you’re starting from scratch every single time. That’s why we had template systems and why we invented view libraries. Once you’ve defined your libraries, you just copy-paste stuff.
