I graduated from Hack Reactor in 2018 but no longer lists it since it’s useless on my resume.

Oops yeah I guess the email says all bootcamp grads EVER should be excluded - which is more extreme. I've seen bootcamp grads with no experience flat out excluded because of lack of experience, but once you have 4+ YOE it doesn't matter as much.
It does matter for proxy signal though. It's so hard to get into Stanford and MIT that if you do, you are probably an extremely strong candidate for the rest of your life - more likely to be than at other schools for example. But that's more of a reason to +1 those schools, not to ban all others.
