How America's universities became debt factories

Who knows what would happen?

Maybe they'd do their own educational curricula with requirements that would require minimum tenures with payback requirements. (Not sure of all the US laws in this regard. There used to at least be relocation payback requirements.)

But I suspect a lot of people here wouldn't like 1 year bootcamps for jobs that included an extended employment commitment.

I suspect they would like it better than paying for 4 years of education with no guarantee of employment at the end. But most likely it would be nothing of the sort. Most jobs that require degrees don't actually use any of the material in the degree (any job that doesn't care what your major was). Those jobs could just hire HS grads without any other changes.
