I used to think this too - until you actually consider what goes into cars now.
Any newer model, you have cameras, back up sensors, air bag sensors, adjustable lights, fog lights.
All this has to be disconnected, reconnect, repaired, replaced.
Add to that paint costs for many color matched metallic bumpers these days.
Is it always justifiable? No. But the costs are not quite as outrageous as it seems on the surface.
