But the recruitment bar for everyone is roughly the same, no? If non-CS graduates generally are worse (which might be true), only the best of them get hired.

This only makes sense if interviewers prefer non-CS graduates.

Yes, the hiring bar is the same. But as many of us know, the coding interview can be passed with practice so bad engineers are practically indistinguishable from good engineers with extensive amount of practice. The real issues come from when these bootcamp grads are in the workforce when the problems aren't so black and white.
