I beleive most concockion's these day's have some form of tung oil's in them/blend's of one thing or another,,,straight oils take forever to dry...urethane's contain hardner's and drier's to speed up the dring time
I was talking to someone the other day about a guy who turns bowl"s for a living,,some go for $5,000.00 and better..his sealer and finish all in one is the linseed/urethane mix.....I guess the urethane helps dry up the linseed and give's the finish abit of hardness so it doesn't stay gooie from the straight oil.

never tried straight tung oil..we alway's used linseed on gun stock's,,wiping off as not to get to much of a build up...but in time on a hot day the oil would get sticky. then would have to use fine steel wool to strip it off...a reel pain after awhile.

BOAT fish do count.
