> Heroku and was a staple for so many bootcamps

Some would say bootcamps exploited a free service and a nice-to-have became an expectation

I think bootcamps did what it said on the box. It showed their students to have small toy hobby projects, which is exactly what the free tier is for.

Also having taught a bootcamp, I think costs to Heroku for bootcamp students would be basically negligible. Their apps tend to only be accessed by them and maybe 1-2 others, and only are really actively used for a few months.
