I don't understand the difference between UI and frontend developer. What do you work on if you are a frontend developer but do not actually care about the UI?

That's the second paragraph of the post.

You could code JS, React, HTML, CSS, etc and implement other people's mockups, without giving a toss about UI principles and UI design...

Working in front-end = implementing the technical parts of a given UI.

Being a UI developer (as per the post) = knowing UI priciples, design, etc.
