I work full stack and even do dev operations and my title is not "full stack" and I believe the reason why is so HR can argue to pay me less.
Why would you think full stack developers make more money in general?
Eh, this is a thing, large companies often have internal rules and maximums about how much they can pay any given job title. For example, on our team, everyone we hire is given the role "senior full stack developer", not because they're particularly senior, in some cases we're literally hiring out of college, but because it allows us to pay them better with internal company politics.
I prefer to use statisics rather than anecdotal evidence. The stack overflow survey shows full stack pretty far down:

Apparently they can't read their own survey results because DevEx is clearly the highest paid category there but they think it's SRE and cloud
What is a dev advocate really?
