Not that I really care but why? The guy is probably just trying to save a buck and the stuff he is turning is probably just hobby parts.
It is entirely personal for me. I hate grinding them. Learning to do it was a pain in the arse and fingers. I can do it, sure, but there's rarely ever a real need or point in doing so. And as far as saving money goes, you're talking pennies when you consider the time to grind it, as well as resharpen, compared to the cost of buying multi-sided inserts in bulk.

I have very little experience with turning and milling albeit I've designed parts requiring turning, milling and shaping. My only experience was in school and we mostly focused on the programing side. The guy sounds like he is from Eastern Europe so he might live in a location were supplies are not reliable.

It is simply the way we were taught in 1976. We were using machines from the 20s. It is old-school but it is something that is good to learn. Apparently some people like being old-school and that must have included this guy. It’s really no big deal. I can see how it would aggravate you though.
