The world is running out of solvable problems, especially when you think about the bar required to be useful to society today. Period.

I've been thinking about this a lot and I think that feeling is a result of rising inequality in general and not running out of problems. The rich are getting richer and the gap is widening.
The bootcampers group of people is particularly sensitive to this because a bootcamp is a viable pathway for a small number of people who make the jump into the "rich person bucket" and are set for the rest of their lives - benefiting from the widening gap.
But the world is complicated and it's not so binary - rich or not. You can set yourself up on a good path, that might take several years and several steps in the journey, to achieve that dream that some bootcampers want to have in 12 weeks.
