It's all about the cost to repair vs residual value once repaired. Cost to repair also includes cost of providing alternative transportation during the repair.

Not sure what year the vehicle in question is, but I know when I had my FRS repaired after being rear-ended it only got done because of the out of control used market in late 2021, early 2022. It had a little more damage then this but not much. The gap was less than $1,000.
