I hope I'm wrong but that's what the website appears to suggest. I emailed them asking about it to verify and haven't received a response back yet.

They do not have an in person LA program, just a NY one

Are you familiar with a reputable company that does have an in person program? Do you know anything about learning fuze?

Of the super top tier / competitive bootcamps the only in person ones I know are Codesmith (NY) and App Academy (NY and SF).
I totally get everyone is different, but I would advise on finding the right program for you over in person/online, unless there is a particularly strong reason to have a worse fit program because of the stronger benefit to you of an in person program.
In person programs in smaller cities are often a great way to get a foot in the door with local companies in that city. This was the bread and butter for Tech Elevator during the good times.

So you don't think it's kind of a scam that they charge the same but make it fully online to save money? Is that the wrong mindset?

Definitely not a scam to be online focused but you do have to look deeply in each school and see if it's right for you. The hiring market is bad right now for new engineers, so I would ask them what "a lot" means and how many people in the recent cohort got jobs via those local partners.
