I think it's a question of barriers. You can't charge tens of thousands (often totaling hundreds of thousands) of dollars and many years for a professional degree and expect folks to buy it over other options that cost far less time and far less money.

I'm not saying coding bootcamps are panacean, but hiring does occur at such places and their cost (again, in terms of time & money) is a fraction of the cost of traditional professional education.

Professional education will need to adapt. I've heard of disaster-prone areas producing doctors in a matter of weeks. I don't want to be treated by a doctor who only has 8 weeks of training, but I don't think it's a bad start to a more, immersive, apprenticeship-based program that allows candidates to earn decent money while learning the full profession.
