Opinion on trilogy university bootcamps?

I don't know much about their curriculum but they seem to have a lot of turnover. Someone on here said they get 1 or 2 weeks to drop out tuition free, and this person dropped out a week after and had to sue them to get a refund. They said 75% of people had dropped out in the first week. Now this is someone clearly disgruntled so take that with a grain of salt.
Now what I do have an opinion on is that I really don't like how they convinced so many top universities in CS to run programs in their continuing studies departments under the university's name. I've heard a lot of stories about people who didn't realize this and joined thinking it was a UTAustin or UW or Columbia program. I have no problem at all if they offer courses in partnerships with the universities, just wish this was clearer. This might be the universities fault 🤷♂️
I probably wouldn't have them on MY shortlist but each person has different goals and needs.
