Erm, maybe because what is being learned isn't something that can be absorbed in 1 semester?
Most community colleges do have tracks for this. Generally it's four semesters for an Associate's. You probably have core courses of: Programming 101 (Java or Python, generally); Programming 102; Computer Architecture/Assembly; Data Structures; and one of either Discrete Math or Calculus I.
That is way more than 40 hours a week for 14 weeks--and that's just the barest minimum to get someone up and running.
And note that this doesn't include any "vocational" training in the current Web Frameworks, Android/iOS, basic databases, etc.
