> There is a LOT more to development than coding

Agreed. Many companies already have paid work hours for hiring. I just listed those examples because those seems to be more common than work days ATM and isn't most employment in US at will unlike EU and developed parts of the world?

I understand the company will still have some cost to that but why should individuals be worked for free to offset that?

The alternative isn't that these people get paid, the alternative is that they continue to get their resumes screened and either remain unemployed or go back to the undesirable field they were in pre-bootcamp.

That's the reality for many people. This can help those people- although I agree that it won't help anybody who's qualified to field an offer right off the bat.
