Here's a pic so others may be able to assess better.
This is after the body shop removed the old stuff.
The owner sent this to me. I haven't seen my car since I dropped it off on Monday

I would agree

some people will price themselves out of a job if they just don't want to do it.
couple of thing I will mention. that is not the most rust I have ever seen but it's enough to make doing almost anything much more difficult. rust sucks we all hate it.
I have installed a rear bumper myself and I can share some of the surprise moments.
#1 it only takes like 8 large m12 1.25 bolts to install the bumper, super easy.
#2 the exhaust needs to be messed with but again super easy.
#3 and this one can suck. the rear body mounts will probably be compressed and probably need to be replaced. I had slight clearance issues with my rear and replaced the body mounts to compensate for it.
#4 I can't tell but it looks like there is a bolt in the factory mounting hole for the stock hitch? if that was cut off? you will need to drill and extract that thing. maybe they just cut them all off? that would explain the extra price a bit?
