The key part of those studies is that they were comparing omega-6 fats to saturated fats like butter. They are healthier than saturated fats all else being equal, but that doesn't mean you should have that much of it.

I disagree that saturated fats are the bad ones. It is poly-unsaturated ("seed oils"/PUFAs) that are bad.
I don't think either are great in the quantities most people consume, but the current evidence suggests saturated fats are worse if you are to simply replace one with the other.
