Rhetorical question of course. Insurance companies and auto shops - that triple and quadruple every part and labor in their invoice books to make a fortune out of a relatively simple fender bender. It is how it is - can't fight them or change rules - just need to accept it and get used to it.
P.S. The work needed to put it back is about 20hours max + 3 days for paint job - what they were doing 2 months is beyond me

4-5 max for parts? heck, it probably costs 2k just for the headlight.
i had a similar hit in the front by a drunk, and it cost over 20k.
