API in node.js is dead?

So, API in Node.js.

Is it correct to say that when we want to write an API server, for mobile, for programmers, for any service that actually wants to communicate with our database. Is there a distinct disadvantage to using Next.js over any other node.js framework? (nodejs, nest, express…)

I mean, is there really any reason to use node.js other than for backend services that don’t communicate with any frontend? Especially when in Next.js, we can in the same breath, produce a frontend that will communicate with the API, authentication, documentation and moreā€¦ it feels to me that all the knowledge of node.js has already become a bit redundant,

isn’t it?
