I think parent might be implying that a 10 mph collision can total a car just as effectively as a 100 mph collision. There might be more left of the occupants, but the car itself might be still a total loss from a cost-to-repair perspective

True, but another thought I would have is these modern cars should have sufficient sensors to be able to stop and avoid collisions at low speed.
