why is cast iron okay to not clean?

Why is it considered okay to eat off cast iron that has never been cleaned, aka seasoned? I think people would get sick if I didn’t wash my regular pans, yet cast iron is fine.

You do clean cast iron… you just don’t try and scrub it till it’s shiny since it’s possible to scrub off the seasoning. Regular dish soap and light scrubbing is totally fine, just don’t bust out the ultra heavy duty soap and steel wool.
