bootstrapping is quantifying uncertainty, not getting a different estimate of the overall effect. Otherwise put, the overall estimate would be different only if there were information about its level in the resamples not present in the complete data, and that isn't so. Bootstrapping just gives an indication of uncertainty, although nothing stops you from looking at the distribution of estimates from the resamples you happen to take; it's merely convention. although a good one, that many people stop at confidence intervals. However, that distribution is itself subject to uncertainty, especially in the tails, unless the sample size is so small that you look at all possible resamples.
