I think the etymology of the term itself justifies its use: it was *not* generally made from snakes, rather from things like oil of wintergreen and white gasoline. It was marketed as such because the thought of gathering it from snakes added to the cachet. Many things marketed as 'snake oil' do have some health merit from the herbal side, but they were all billed as 'cure-alls' and marketed not on merit but entirely on name.
Much like some of the oil additives that have dubious merit but claim to do it all. Now, if you asked me if I agree that the medical establishment rails (and spends) against herbal and alternative medicine, I'd say yes, but it's possible for it to be a bit of both.
