Why is electronics fine when places under oil but not on water?

So I’ve seen some videos before where they literally put entire pc builds in oil and some machines work under oil (although I forgot what machines are those)

Water can conduct electricity. The whole point of electronics is very finely controlling where electricity can go, so introducing water ruins this.

Another problem is that when water evaporates it has minerals in it that is left behind, this can ruin circuits too. And even if the water is free of minerals, putting it on electronics can make it disolve some minerals and later deposit it on the circuit, except now in the different place and it ruins the circuit.
