Dude, the auto insurance
Dude, the auto insurance industry is there to make money. It's not up to Joe Texas to decide if the car is totaled, its up to the insurance adjustor. Having gone through it, there are some strict guidelines that they follow.
As for wet car carpets- they know that when carpets and upholstery has been submerged, and then inundated with mud and flood water, which is filled with contaminants, it can never be usable. Trust me, you don't want a car that has been submerged in shit water.
And, seeing as how many still owe money, and insurance won't give them enough to cover their current loan, they are fucked. They have no vehicle to trade in and will still owe on the totaled vehicle.

Explain how you can fix up
Explain how you can fix up the 2009 Dodge Caravan, that had been soaked to to roof in contaminated water, in a way that it will be safe and usable for the family of 5, for less than the KBB value.
Sure, strip it down to the frame, throw in a few seats and use it for mudding, but for the primary family vehicle?

I mean, I don't want to come off as Negative Nellie here, PLF. If you have a way to properly and cost-effectively refurbish those cars, I'm sure that the insurance industry will pay you millions.
Duct tape and Bond-o, baby!

I could see purchasing a
I could see purchasing a vehicle or two at scrap prices, if the buyer enjoys taking stuff apart & putting it back together. But the people who are good at that have already headed there w/ their multi-car haulers. If I knew that I wanted some specific Toyota / Honda / Nissan engines, transmissions & wheels, I would grab the drowned vehicles for cheap and rip them up for those items.
But interiors and seats are all big stinky mold factories if they were under sewer water.
