Why can't people learn from online courses provided by treehouse or codeschool or udemy. There are cheaper when compared to coding bootcamps. Anyone care to comment ?

Some people find it easier to learn in a structured environment.
Structured environment ? Can you elaborate on this one ?
maybe a place you have to show up and be present for the training and there is someone there with expectations that you have to fulfill. Vs being self-motivated to work independently. In my case I have some personal projects and a couple of online courses in progress but I usually find it easier to play WoW instead. If I had to go to a physical class I wouldn't do that.
