Is it permitted to use the leftover oil of the candle went out in middle of the first half an hour?

Learn ר”ן who explains based on the Rif it is permitted. And brings the position of the גאונים who say one is prohibited from using the leftover oil even after chanukah

According to Tosfos is the oil that remains even after the candle lit for half an hour prohibited to be used?

Why is the remaining oil different than the leftover of other Mitzvos which are permitted to be used after the Yom tov – for example the wood used for ones Sukkah?
