The EPA has severly limited BTX AKA aromatics in pump gas for years.
This argument is hilarious!! "SEVERLY" Limited" Allow me to help you understand your "severly limited" amounts!

There are 124 oil refineries operating in the U.S. Texas holds 27 of them. To keep the numbers modest I will only focus on Texas refineries.
The 27 refineries in Texas produce about 4.6 million barrels of refined gasoline/ day. Or 193,200,000 gallons of gasoline or 193.2 million gallons /day
Benzene and Ethyl Benzene are distributed by % Vol. @ a range of .1 - .9 according to any MSDS you look at.
At .1% of 193.2 million gallons of gasoline, the minimal amount of just Benzene will be equal to 193,200 gallons, add another 193,200 gallons for Ethyl Benzene since they are both distributed at similar rates.

Now for the big picture
The 124 refineries operating in the U.S. process about 19 million barrels of crude /day, or about 798 million gallons of crude /day.
Let that sink into your "severly limited" argument.

I'm not trying to start an oil war or super long post but I know there is a good chance I do.

I need to buy some more and want to know what folks are useing. Several years back I used some bel rat, the. Uses a few quarts of amsoil, then got some Lucas but quit when someone told me it left their says dryer and less oily residue than other worse oils so I quit useing it. I got a qt of Raiseman semi syn that I just used up last I mixed. I am going to have to use the last of the Lucas that I have untill I buy something else and was wondering what folks are useing these days.
Red Armour, when I run out of hp ultra (stihl) I like it because it’s red, and it doesn’t smell like burning plastic or trash like ultra. It also seems to mix better at different ratios. If it wasn’t red armour I’d probably be using husqvarna premix, it’s good stuff as well and doesn’t smell like burning trash.
 
I have heard really good things about red armor echo oil. It's on Amazon by the gallon for a good price that still is many years of oil for me and I'd rather not spend $60 today on oil. I also like semi synthetic having heard that the dino oil base sticks around longer on parts when a saw may sit up for expltended periods.
It’s good stuff and it comes in a metering bottle you can mix what ratio you’re after. It’s a lot better than the power blend. That stuffs gummy as hell and must not be Ashless because it smokes a lot.

Fun with numbers aside it's not the total it's the concentration.
 
A good TCW-3 as Lawnboy recommends basically a good FB rated oil without the bells & whistles . Good low temp pour point however which makes it quite suitable for the Etec direct injection systems OMC now manufacturers .
My lawn boy is from 1973 and specs 32:1 it is a D600 and the Johnson / Evinrude oil is superior to the Schaeffer's which burns dirty. Since switching i have not had any more problems.

Most chainsaws don't have a catalytic converter and none have a 3 way catalyst.
So no its not mute. You are running a high percentage ethanol mix because you are paranoid about minute levels of benzene, only to expose yourself to something just as bad and in much higher levels.
