75% is not almost all…plenty of local Californian higher end brands that I find difficult to believe is half soybean oil. Just don’t buy the cheap private label stuff.
Semantics, I guess -- If you pick one at random, you've got a 15-25% chance of it being pure avocado/olive oil. Sure, you can get real stuff if you know what you are looking for.
