The addition to seeds oils in our food supply is highly correlated to poor health outcomes. Also countries that used a lot of saturated fat like France also saw less CVD ('the french paradox') than the US who switched though this has started to wane as they adopt more and more western foods. Of course correlation isn't causation but I think suspicion here is warranted.
There are also a lot nuances like if we're talking about EVOO unheated in a salad vs like canola oil repeatedly heated used in frying. Animal fat is more 'stable' than vegetable oil which forms harmful compounds when repeatedly heated to high temperatures so you can say it may be better than vegetable oil for that particular use-case without saying it is categorically better for all use-cases.
