Maybe because too many people got into the business and completely saturated the market with coding bootcamps. I mean, maybe I'm wrong here, but I get the impression most people running these things didn't really do it because they were passionate about the field or knew how to run a teaching business, but because it was seen as a quick way to make extra cash.
There are just too many of the bloody things, and it's a pain to compete in the field as a result. Just look at how many this site seems to list for example:
https://www.coursereport.com https://www.coursereport.com
426 schools listed there alone. And that's likely just the more promoted/credible ones.
It's like any type of business really. The more popularity a trend gets, the more competition there is, the more people who don't know what they're doing get involved and the more businesses/sites go out of business. It's happened to web hosts, to mobile app developers, to people trying to run social networking sites and marketing blogs alike.
The fact they're offering a service facing competition from both real world schools/colleges and online help sites probably isn't helping their chances either.
