Bacon is used a multitude of ways. Boiling is not as uncommon as you think.
Modern recipes which use bacon this way are various bean dishes, assorted
cabbage dishes and as well as a soup or two.  And yes the bacon that you
usually get in the refrigerator section of your supermarket is very different
from the bacon that was generally available to our great grandparents or
grandparents.

The basic idea of bacon being smoked side pork has not changed. However, the
production methods for mass marketing of bacon has changed producing a far
inferior product than our recent ancestors would have been used to.
