My wife backed my 2018 F250 into a stump and the bumper was mangled up like a beer can. All of that stuff is built to crumple for energy absorption in a crash. It's more delicate than old stuff, but it's smart design. New stuff is many orders of magnitude better than old and despite the high costs, I would argue that it's possible to get much more for your money than the "old days"

250k miles used to absolutely unheard of. 100k was an anomaly, even if the engine held together the body would rust off. 250k miles on a vehicle that still looks fairly new is not any kind of feat to pull off these days. We really forget just how unreliable old stuff was.
