The issue with seed oils is mostly the extraction process. If you see olive oil is cold pressed, usually. Coconut oil is also processed without very high heat and hydraulic pressure.

And that's why sesame oil is the one exception. Pre-industrial people were able to figure out how to extract it because it doesn't need high temperatures.
Yeah, people have been using that stuff for millennia, so there's no need for elaborate and expensive industrial processes. Still, that might just make it "not as bad" instead of "good", so don't go nuts on it.
No. It is not mostly the extraction process, it's the toxicity of the product itself. I own several bug sprays where the 'active ingredient' is rapeseed oil. One rapeseed is like a grain of sand. Imagine your ancestors crushing millions of them to add to every single item they ate. They didn't, and neither should you. In the UK almost every fucking item for sale in a supermarket that isn't a raw food is 20% rapeseed oil or higher
