Do Back-End Developers Even Have Portfolios?

For ~3 months now, I have been building https://www.webportfolios.dev - a place for showcasing developer portfolios.

Within this amount of time, I have occasionally tried to find portfolios from back end developers to reach out to, but I've noticed that they are surprisingly rare compared to front-end or full-stack portfolios. This got me wondering—do back-end developers even bother creating portfolios?

If you’re a back-end dev, do you have one? If not, do you feel like it’s unnecessary for your career? Would a well-structured portfolio actually help in job searches, or is LinkedIn and GitHub enough?
