My family are occasionally forced to do that with teapots, but that is why we have a hot water jug, as inherited from my grandparents, for that side of the family like water that has been mildly exposed to the teabag.
I don't do that with cups (or didn't, when I used teabags) because then you just end up with tannin stains on your teeth, and drinking the strong bitter ends.
