I'm going to die on this hill that water is not inherently wet (and by extension oil is not inherently oily).
To say that something is wet, it needs two components: water and not water. You can say that a surface is wet because the water can be removed. If you remove water from water it's just less water. You can say that the container that the water is in is wet, but not of the water itself.
The same applies to oil as well.
And I will continue to assail your hill with; wet is a property that water has.
Wet is simply the surface tension balance of a substance. If a fluid sticks to somthing, it is wet. You can wet your brush, yes, but also wet a soldering iron, or wet every surface with superfluid. Wet refers to the conducting of fluid, capillary action, all the effects of surface tension adhering to something.
How wetting a substance is of another substance is usually measured by the angle a droplet makes upon contact. More sticky (adhesive) and less blobby (cohesive) means more wetting. Cohesion being simply self-adhesion means any fluid with surface tension necessarily totally wets itself, otherwise it's a gas. And since water is a cohesive liquid (with a rather strong surface tension), it is by definition wet.
Water is sticky.

Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can
What's he like? It's not important
Particle man
Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he's underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, Particle man
Hi fellow TMBG fan.
This water is lubricated
I'm wet 😏
Now do mayonnaise
On it
What happens if they're at 50/50?
Then the wet is oily.
OOH! OOH! I have something prepared for this.
this oilwater is Ukrainian 🇺🇦
Water is not wet
Seething wet water denier
This is not as wet as I am.
