I find it a bit hard to believe that *all* kitniyot oil, or even most,
is produced
without the kitniyot coming into contact with water.>>

According to Rav Kook and I also believe R. Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor only those
kitniyot oils made without water are kosher for Pesach (for ashkenazim).
I am not saying anything about any specific modern day oils

RMF  distinguishes between soybean which is an actual bean and so
essentially the same as other beans and similarly corn which is grain-like from
peanuts which is botanically kitniyot but is not the same to most layman.
