That's exactly why a lot of bootcamps have come into existence, along with a guaranteed job in the industry at the end of it. Though many employers hire university grads as a sort of "signal" for people who can work hard, think critically, finish what they started etc. And I'm not saying one is better then the other, just noticing this trend of bootcamps popping up everywhere to replace university CS/CE education.

anecdotally most people I know who have gone through bootcamp have had major issues getting hired and the ones that did were hired into support/saleseng rather than software engineering.

I've seen the same as well, more so that most of them were taught one structured way to look at problems and only how to use specific tools, rather than why. There's definitely tradecraft learning necessary beyond a bootcamp.
