Why do people join cyber security bootcamps?

Can someone explain why people still pay $5,000-$10,000+ for “cybersecurity bootcamps” in 2025? claiming "land a job in 4-6 months"

One of my friends just joined one, he feels happy because they said he'll land a job. (NGT academy)

did anyone here ever join one? you probably regret it afterwards??

You’ve got hackthebox.com hackersconenct.com tryhackme.com hackviser.com and literally THOUSANDS of hands-on platforms that cost a FRACTION of that…

But somehow these bootcamps convince people to take out loans for material you can learn online for $30/month. or less...

To me bootcamps just feel like a business scheme, they may actually "Teach" but its way overpriced.
