Reminds me of a joke I read online. "Plant Based Meat" is not Plant. It's not Based and it's not Meat.

About as funny as complaining "oil" is used to refer to petroleum-based lubricants, avocado oil, etc. since the etymology of "oil" is strictly a reference to olive oil only.
I can't stand this type of thing, just like people who get upset at terms like "oat milk" or "soy milk."
Not really a dig at you, sorry.

No problem. I didn't take the original comment too seriously either. Just a passing chuckle at some wordplay.
TBH, I haven't heard the complaints about the use of "oil" in that context.
