Yes it does sound fishy which is why I posted to see if anyone else was having that problem. I live in Northern VA, it's only driven on paved roads, and while they do use salt up here, the Blazer is not old enough to be rusting from the limited exposure it's seen. No 2019 vehicle should be rusting like that I've never had a car rust like that...and I used to live in Michigan. Besides those bolts, and the trailer hitch cover coming lose (which was a recall), I haven't had any other issues. Given that it was the bolts on both sides and they started rusting at pretty much the same time, it's a bit concerning since the vehicle is approximately a year and a half old. What was on the receipt said "replaced rusted hardware at the inner wheel wells near the center cross member." I didn't see exactly what was replaced, but it doesn't appear to be dripping rust anymore.
