I think we as professionals tend to overestimate how difficult the basics are for people. I'm certainly guilty of this ("how much can boot camp really teach you") despite the fact that I saw many non programmers learn how to reliably program (as long as sufficient examples were around) games via LPMUD. LPC taught an entire generation of non-technical people how to program and nobody even realized it was doing it. Sure it wasn't "great" code, they often needed assistance, and they'd never be engineers, but it was all working game data.

IMHO boot camps are for coding like going to the gym is for exercise. Yes, you can do it all by yourself, in your house, alone. But being alone is depressing for many people, so they decide to pay whatever sum of money just to be in the same room with people in the same page, and a tutor to correct their mistakes. And I totally agree. I'm following a course in Udemy to learn modern Front End (I'm a Back End developer) and it's boring as hell. Also, I can totally just quit studying with zero consequences.
