Someone just asked the forbidden question that makes every backend developer's eye twitch. The response? Pure gold. "Why do we eat and go to the bathroom when we can throw food directly in the toilet? Because stuff needs to get processed."
Connecting your frontend directly to the database is like giving every stranger on the internet your house keys and hoping they'll only use the bathroom. Sure, it's technically possible, but you're basically rolling out the red carpet for SQL injection attacks, exposing your credentials in client-side code, and letting users bypass any business logic you might have.
The backend is where validation happens, authentication lives, business rules get enforced, and your data stays safe from curious DevTools users. But sure, skip it if you want your app to become a cautionary tale on r/netsec.
