metapher - something not allways meant to be literal in a scientific sense. Bone dry is a very good description for a desert for a ordinary human beeing, as it means you wont find water you can use

For a desert on a planet, but not for an entire planet. You sound ridiculous claiming Mars is bone-dry. It is not a "very good description". It is false.

No, he is using the word incorrectly. They are not bone-dry.
