Not many people like to talk about this point because it seems off mode but those things made me quite sick. I was disappointed because I’m always in for a good burger no matter what it’s made with. (Don’t extrapolate that on me please!)

There were several threads on r/vegan that spoke to the same symptoms, but with only vague guesses to the cause—like the oils.

There is a lot of hubris displayed in the world of nutrition when any scientists I’ve spoken to in the research (rather than product) space seem to conclude that there isn’t enough known about the complex interactions that occur in our bodies when we eat a “whole” food utilizing the variety of compounds and their structured forms/proportions to say whether or not we can realistically and safely just supplement them yet. I’ve always been told, sure go ahead and supplement but just eat the food as well. Just don’t over eat. And eat mostly real food, shy away from processed stuff.

I haven't heard of any kind of (edible!) oil acutely making people ill. Why is that the assumption with Impossible Burgers?

Well by definition things that make people ill aren't regarded as edible. Technically castor oil is edible, but you shouldn't consume it.
