I think an issue that I noticed after month of interviewing junior and interns is that all those people coming out of bootcamps sure have a better knowledge in javascript than an intern but their is an extroardinary lack of knowledge in terms of general knowledge. How to use command line, how a dns request works, how a web request works and more.
Thus for the company it is sometimes more profitable to recruit interns that in the end will adapt better to the larger scope of work and be cheaper in terms of cost for the company.
I do agree on the part that not enough junior build a portfolio. I see so many people who have been "looking for a job for a year" but didn't create one repo or project in that year. It gives me the simple impression the person doesn't enjoy IT.
