Every single recipe nowadays calls for avocado oil, but I see no advantages compared with virgin olive oil for salads or sunflower oil for cooking, and that's even if the avocado oil isn't 1) rancid or 2) soybean oil wearing a hat and moustache. Plus, aren't avocados notoriously water intensive and bad for the environment? Save them for eating, I say.
Avocado oil can withstand higher heat than most other oils. Refined avocado oil has a smoke point of 270°C, compared to extra virgin olive oil which smokes at only 190°C. So it's good to use in anything that you cook at very high temps but for a lot of recipes it probably doesn't matter.

All flavorless oils taste the same to me
Edit: if you're micromanaging your various fat intakes then it matters I guess
I’m waiting for my avocado oil to finish, then I’m just getting sunflower oil. I got it for “health”.
In a proper socialist government avocado oil must be shut down so we can have more 🥑 for guacamole
I would assume the oil is made from the seed which is probably a waste product anyways if you’re making processed avocado products
