That's just one source that explains using soap and water is not necessary, there are others.
People are so deeply ingrained in the stainless steel pots/pans world that they think soap and water is just standard.
Which, it totally IS necessary with those specific materials (pretty much).
The heat involved at the end of the cast iron cleaning process (as well as at the beginning of the next use process) is gonna kill off anything dangerous way better than soap and water would anyways.
To get a crudded up, rusty old cast iron pan back down to a beginner base to start the seasoning process, some people put the pan in the oven on self-cleaning mode (not recommended for old or thin pans), or they just chuck it in a fire.
Cast iron is pretty damn incredible man.
