I don't think it was a myth, but WD-40 was once considered to also have
some silicone oil in it. I think they removed it because it was causing
cracking in some metal aircraft parts. Someone once told me.

I keep a can handy in the bathroom for removing sticky labeling. It's more
safe now, since it no longer contains propane as propellant, but does NOT
make a good flame thrower like it used to. It will still throw a flame
however.

For the most part, CRC 2-26 is a better product.

I have had car detainers tell me it dries out natural items like
leather upholstery, etc.

I don't think the mineral spirits part is good for leather. I got to get
out my lexol spray for my knife holder I cleaned the other day. I also like
the lexol leather conditioner for other materials.

I like LL Bean boot guard; beeswax and lanolin... also good for
coating workboot laces, and great for lubing zippers.

Anything that could be called an astringent, like mineral spirits,
likely wouldn't be good to keep leather supple. It would dry it out.

I wasn't sure of the contents, but I've used mink wax before. Mink fat,
yuk.
