Note that there may be a min connect time at turnaround (ASIA). You do waste hours/days doing this

You cannot actually throw away any legs (except maybe the last leg, with all the caveats about (hidden city fares)
Yes, you can do that, and waste a day or more (don't know how it is "hours" only, because the fare would basically be to southeast Asia, which is easily a full day round-trip, and you might be looked suspiciously at immigration).
But in no way is the routing you said "hidden city ticketing"
