Isn't that basically lard and can't you just buy the lard in a jar or can?

You must do a ton of bacon because I can only at most use the leftover fat from doing some pork (bacon very rarely) in a frying pan to, immediately afterwards, sauté some vegetables or such on that fat.

Yes and no. Bacon has curing salts and spices and some time in a cold smoker ideally. That all adds some additional flavor to the grease.

Lard is just plain pig fat that is rendered down and strained to remove bits of meat and skin. No seasoning and no smoke
