what do you mean it’s mostly butter? even peanut butter with added oil/sugar/salt is still some 85% peanuts. Or do you mean simply that it had a high fat content?
Unsalted natural peanut butter is just roasted peanuts. Salted natural peanut butter is just peanuts and salt. The oil is just from the peanuts, not added.
No mix peanut butter is the same but with palm oil and usually whichever sweeteners are cheapest. Palm oil hardens at room temperature and keeps the peanut oil from separating.
Sounds like you’ve never been to a hippy store. They sometimes have machines that you pour the peanuts into and then you have some peanut butter. You can also have cashew butter, etc.
I use peanut butter powder in my overnight oats. Imagine a peasant seeing all that work done just to remove nutritional content because I want to lose fat.

Can’t they make peanut butter where they don’t add anything at all? Like just peanuts?

The peanut butter I buy is 99% peanuts and 1% salt.
What I buy is 100% peanuts and no salt.

You can get the just peanuts stuff from any store. I think Adam’s is like that. It is the kind you have to stir the oil back in when you get it.
they can, and some brands only make it like that, but others want peanut butter that doesn’t shift and so add other oils
I make my own peanut butter because I like it extra roasty. It’s like 500g peanuts, a half teaspoon of salt.
it’s literally what pb is.
They do! But the oil separates and you have to stir it first. And it needs to be refrigerated after opening.
Convenience, whether it’s for the producer or consumer, got us again.
I have never, ever refrigerated peanut butter (the 99%+ peanuts kind).
The label on our jars just say to store in a cool, dry place - ie. in the pantry.
Right, the high fat part.

Just think, genetically we are the same. Our biology has not caught up to the modern world we have constructed.
