Finally: something thatās not made in China! 
Not a palm tree anywhere on that label
I hear some people swear by it for dilationā¦
Cosmetics and skin care.
Soap (I make my own; coconut oil makes gobs of lather)
I donāt know about using it as any type of commercial lubricant; I suspect itās too much of a niche market and the personal care and food uses suck up most of the production.

Coconut oil is anything but āhealthyā. Itās a saturated fat.
I donāt recall what brand the coconut oil I buy is but itās organic and itās around 9 bucks. 13 dollars seems like a lot to me, but hey if its a brand you like then go ahead

My mother mixes it with FECO and BHO and puts it in gelcaps to treat her COPD since she canāt inhale even vapes.
this is a fairly common habit, many people use cow-oil also known as ābutterā
I honestly wondered how soon someone would post an answer similar to yours. So hereās my take on it: using coconut oil as a spread on ones toast seems to bear less similarity to using butter than it does to using, say, vegetable oil, or even vegetable shortening on ones toast. Which Iām pretty sure most people wouldnāt want to do.
When did it become -punk to have a subscription to a yuppie health craze product?
If we keep using words like this weāre going to run out of meaning.
I put it on toast. Itās delicious. My favorite morning treat.
You just described margarine. Itās not to my taste-- I prefer the taste of butter-- but some people like it.
