Default Why use Tung oil?

I bought a small bottle of Tung oil (low gloss). I decided not to use
it for a current project after calling the company for info on it's
properties. Why use Tung instead of Blo, or mineral oil, or other oils?
I'm wondering if they are interchangeable enough that there's no need
to stock/use different products. I know about the need for "food safe"
products like mineral oil, etc. But for non food items, why does one
guy swear by Tung oil, while another is content with BLO? I could see
ZERO difference between mineral oil and Tung on walnut or maple.
