Fuel pump change is a PITA
Just what that says changing the fuel pump the right way is a PAIN IN THE A$$.

I've done several FI pumps. First time it took 3 hours. I can do one in under 2 now. Never had to disconnect ANY part of the brake system.

They took the REAR end off & the only way to do that is to disconnect the brake lines.

Yeah it is a pain. It's not necessary to take the rear off, but like you said, if they did, then obviously they will have to bleed the brakes. I don't know if taking the time to take the rear off would be of a benefit.
Like Marc said, some can do it in 2 hours (with experience) others probably around 4 with the rear on the car.

No matter what They had to drop the rear end because of the way that everything is set up in the car. They had no other choice unless they cut the body of the car (on the inside of the car) Which I would have screamed at.
