I had a roommate that did this. Except their reason for not cleaning it was that they thought all that stuff leftover was what is called seasoning. AND they wanted the cast iron seasoning to flavor their dishes.

I tried to gently explain the misconceptions, but they believed their grandma instead of me.

Which is apparently why burritos from old-school eateries taste so good: they don’t wash the griddle, and the secret sauce is the essence of the entrails of generations of pigs and chickens

Every time I see an older person's cast iron, it's covered in that charcoal black garbage that they think is seasoning. Hopefully whoever inherits them strips and reasons them, but so many people have this "wisdom" passed down to them that I kind of doubt it.
