1) Developers tend to sneer at this model, because they learnt themselves online (and dont think sitting in an intensive bootcamp would help) or went to a university for multiple years. This means these bootcamps are often run by people on the fringes of tech, recruiters or in this case "consultants"
2) There is no reason for a developer to teach these bootcamps, they pay less than an equivalent job and most firms would look at experience teaching at one of these bootcamps as a red flag (because most of the teachers are students who couldn't get jobs). University is different here, as your research can be viewed valuably by tech companies, even if while at the university you earn less money, and there are other quality of life benefits
3) Once they get in most students get the impression (even subconsciously) that they've been scammed. Thats mostly for above reasons (founders and teachers who don't have tech experience), combined with a hard sell getting them into it. This gives graduates intense imposter syndrome. Even worse they follow the lead of people who run the boot camp and "fake it till they make it", mainly because these bootcamps offer them TA jobs to juice their stats and incentivizing them to say nice things about the bootcamp.
The combination of these factors means you get graduates who have been taught by people without experience, with a bunch of baggage that makes them worse developers, afraid to ask questions for fear of being seen as an imposter, exaggerating any real projects/experience they've worked on, resistant to learning anything new because they've only been taught specific frameworks with no theory.
