Why do concert performers walk off and back on the stage at the end?

Greetings to all,

The concert ends and the pianist or violinist, etc. of the concerto receives the applause, bows, and then walks of the stage with a mission. Then comes back onto the stage and receives more applause, then again, walks off the stage. This repeats 3 times or so.

Why?

Isn't it humble to receive one round of applause and leave for good? I feel that to receive 2 or 3 rounds of applause is elitist and borderline arrogant. But that's just my opinion ;-0

Best,
