They also often underperform, especially when given a novel task.
One thing that Uni/College provides (hopefully; it did when I was there in the 80's) was a broad base upon which to build the specialty you're interested in. I don't do assembly, but I have done some. I don't do Ada, but I have done some. I don't do microcode kernel code, but I have done some. I don't do O(n) proofs, but I have done some.
I know a lot of bootcamp and self-taught developers "know a lot about things", which is good and we need those people. I pride myself on "knowing about a lot of things", which is also (IMO) good and we (hopefully) need these people too.
