I mean, how is it counter intuitive? It's oil burning. Changing it to another element would be some kind of weird magic, doesn't sound like it makes much sense to me.

That being said, I'm always down for more elemental impacts, but I think buster cannon is a more obvious candidate. Oil chain could use some kind of buff instead.

Accelerant is any element. That's counter-intuitive. You burn regular oil but somehow end up shooting ice out of your gun/bow afterwards.

SL2's setting is surely accommodating of such things as alchemical concoctions that trigger endothermic reactions, thereby creating ice, or something that ends up creating gusts of wind, the rapid formation of rock or magnetic energy, or electricity, surely? So Accelerants oddities aside, I don't really think the point of "weird magic" works.
