Extremely rusty engine bay on 2 year old truck

I get that as I run into them all the time down here. What is unusual is the amount of rust in the short time.
I’ve never in 40 years of old cars in this frozen salt mine seen anything like that with less than 6-8 years and more honestly 10+.
Something went on there definitely . That truck I referred to earlier was10 YO and a plow truck during the high gas price era. You could tell it had plowed and bern parked . It probably never got washed once And sat much of the year. It’ll clean up well enough . Put some primer and paint on it and be happy. A brush is fine for that sort of stuff.
