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)

Even pure water can be contaminated by electronics placed in it due to the various materials and metals. Some oils are excellent insulators. Most high voltage power transformers and various components used by utility companies are submerged in oil. It prevents arcing and acts as a coolant.
