I should hope most people who’ve read Dune know it was about the oil.

Idk dude Herbert specifically called it spice. If he wanted it to be oil why wouldn't he have just named it oil? You could just as easily have a desert filled with oil, probably even more plausible tbh. Media literacy really is in decline
