I definitely don't think a bootcamp is a replacement for a CS degree in terms of education obtained. I do think if you take a random CS graduate from a state school and compare their career trajectory to someone coming out of Hack Reactor or Codesmith that it'd be very comparable

The head of outcomes at Codesmith says almost quote unquote in Codesmith job hunting lectures that Codesmith has proven to be better than Harvard and Stanford. I'm assuming he's referring to a biased survey (from Switchup - which is sponsored by bootcamps) from several years ago regarding placement rates. Stuff like that doesn't help anyone in the industry on how bootcamps are perceived.
