Bootcamps are a form of training designed for you to pass a job interview and use a scripting language to solve problems within a very well-defined problem space.
Their deliverables require supervision because they don't have the technical depth to identify common non-functional requirements.
Occasionally, troubleshooting the technologies you use is necessary, but this scenario is also beyond bootcamp training.
But if you work in a startup that's making a functional prototype for some web application, where things don't really have to truly work or scale, you can waive the supervision and they may even be "the best performant".
I've worked with bootcamp graduates and I've seen scenarios where they are unqualified to contribute.
But to do them some justice, some universities are worse than bootcamps. And, these days, there's an abundance of material you can learn from... but it takes time, initiative and sometimes, mentoring to know what to prioritize.
