I looked peanut butter and it's mushed roasted peanuts, sometime with vegetable oil added. Not much hyper processing or weird ingredients there.

Depends on the brand, but a lot of peanut butter uses palm oil which has a bad reputation due to deforestation (often illegal) to produce it.
Cheap brands often include xylitol which is toxic for dogs.

You're shifting the goalposts. The complaint was about ultra-processed food, not the ecological implications of farming.

I was replying to a post mentioning "weird ingredients there" and to my mind, anything apart from peanuts, salt is a "weird ingredient".
