Both are pastes made of mashed beans (peanuts and chickpeas are beans.) They also have a similar nutrient profile and are both used for similar dishes.

Sure... transfats also resist oxidation much longer, which is good for health in some ways - rancid oil is dramatically unhealthy to consume - but also it serves to help the manufacturer by extending shelf life. They do also sell the peanut oil, though.
