I thought the 6-9 month full-time programs being offered were short as well but I can see how those might offer enough to get a student in the door.
Most programming skills are learned outside the classroom. You're probably right that these boot camps don't get you 100% job ready. But if they get you interested in programming and give you some foundational knowledge, then you'll be ready to take it from there on your own.
