"it will there in its own due time" is naive at best!
Those comments dinging Dev Bootcamp as "toxic" or practicing "reverse discrimination" are revealing a dangerous ignorance. Decades of sexism, racism, and systemic oppression of certain groups are not fixed in their own due time just by natural evolution or luck, they need opposing, direct, and intentional forces such as the one attempted here. I recommend if you really care about the subject to do some deeper reading of the ideology and reasons behind laws and trends towards bringing more absent representation into an industry or organization. There will always be individual instances of "injustice" while systematic oppression is being opposed, but whether you like it or not the system is still racist, even if you as an individual are not. So even though you missed out on your scholarship there are thousands of white privileges you've received without knowing or noticing that you need to own up to as well!
I agree with both these points, but I disagree that wanting yourself and others on your team to be paid for the work you do, no more, no less, is the same thing as being entrepreneurial. There are many attributes that make someone entrepreneurial and there are many reasons people don't just start their own businesses. Getting paid for the work you do instead of being on a salary definitely has similar unpredictability, so it needs someone to be less risk averse than they're used to in their regular 9-5, but I think it's much more about freedom and fairness and these are qualities any engineer (or human being for that matter) craves. If I know I will get paid exactly for what I do I'm free to work as hard or as little as I want depending on my interest in the current project and whatever personal circumstances come my way. There isn't this unhealthy pull/push that happens in partnerships where people are constantly expected to do x% of the work. And I'm also free to not let my work rule my life, I'm in complete control. I think those who want to get paid for exactly the work they do are more akin to freelancers than entrepreneurs, emphasis on the 'free' :)
