I think it's cost more than shelf stability. Canola oil actually has the best n-6:n-3 ratio (2:1) of the common vegetable oils [1], and you can buy (or make!) canola oil mayonnaise easily. Beef fat has much better ratios when grass fed than grain fed as well [2]!

I've seen various ratios, but even with that, the processing involves high heat and hexane, both of which can substantially alter the molecules, and it's high in polyunsaturated fats, so goes rancid easily, destroying the n-3s, but it's hard to detect because of the processing...
