I'm no expert on this, but I think BLO (boiled linseed oil) is just a wood oil with very poor crosslinking/drying behaviour. Varnishes and Tung oils are related compounds that dry much faster. I do not believe there is ANY advantage to using BLO for ANY kind of wood finishing, unless you want something cheap to spread on your cedar shingles and make them all nasty black. Yeah it works, but there is nothing special about it and plenty of other stuff works as well (and more safely).
