microfront ends work well for self contained components that need to be used in multiple pages, they don't even need to have a "separate" backend, as long as there is an area or code file for the backend code that deals with whatever data the microfront end needs.
The longer you are a developer, the more you see fads a cylic just like anything else in this world. rebranding happens every 5 to 10 years for most things.
What kind of component are you talking about? Could you give an example, because as a backend dev, I have no idea what sort of thing would require that level of separation.
