Take that in for service. You're obviously driving a death-trap with driveshafts that are about to disintegrate like Tom Holland after Thanos' snap.
For the OP, if you're really concerned and have way too much time to kill, sand them and paint them. If you think surface rust on axles is a real problem, or a Ford-only thing, I suggest you go check out other SUVs costing several times more.

And the answer Ford will give:
Weathering steel definition: steels that are chemically formulated to develop a protective patina layer – rust-like in appearance – that eliminates the need for paint. The dense oxide patina layer of weathered steel seals it off from the atmosphere. If a weathered steel panel is scratched, its patina will self-heal.
Used on steel sections of highway bridges.

He made the account strictly to call out that "problem" ... I did not see him engage in any other thread or even a welcome post.
I wouldn't say he ran them off the forum and I WOULD say he definitely educated him. Don't need to coddle to educate, sometimes tough love is the best bet.
He came with his problem.. and got his answer.
