How do you figure?
The number of kids that will make the NFL is constant. For every kid that comes from a camp to make the NFL, there is a kid from somewhere else that would have gotten that roster spot that will lose out. There are no net opportunities created.
If you think that camp kids are somehow more deserving, then explain. The camps take place in recruiting hotbeds, therefore kids that go to them already have advantages in recruiting. They are already being scouted more heavily (even if only due indirectly to their teammates being scouted), playing with better quality teammates and opponents, presumably getting better coaching, having better access to regional camps that tend to take place in the south, and several other factors. It's the kids from the north that would otherwise get these scholarships that are at the disadvantage because they won't have access to these camps, and don't have access to being recruited in general as heavily as the southern kids.
