Honda oil has a special ingredient:
profit margin

The manual for my Honda 4 stroke mower contains the usual advice about oil
(paraphrased here): You can use oil that meets blah-blah-blah specs, but
we recommend Honda oil. When I see stuff like this, I assume they mean "If
you visit the mower shop, you might buy something else so we think you
should go there for oil". I like supporting local businesses, like the one
that sold me the mower, but could there be anything special about Honda
oil?
