Can we talk about people throwing away chicken bones after making soup?

I saw my neighbor toss a whole pot of bones from a $5 rotisserie chicken, which is wild because you can boil them again for a second batch of broth. I've been doing this for months and it cuts my stock cost to basically zero. Does anyone else get a second boil out of their bones, or am I just being extra cheap?

My grandma would boil the same turkey carcass for three days straight. The broth got better each time, like a weird soup concentrate. People waste good flavor by not giving bones another round.

My mom does that with chicken bones too, it's like free flavor you're just throwing away otherwise.

My dad once boiled a ham bone for a week.
