So yes, As it was stated in game already, nobody cares about making the Garleans suffer.

Just to put this thing to bed real quick. Nobody but the Garlean's care about ceruleum So no one would be invading them for that. The garleans used it to heat their homes before they used it in weapons to make up for not being able to use magic. Using fantasy oil just sounds like extra steps when you can cast fire1 if your cold at night.
I've no idea what you think it is you're "putting to bed" but...

Granted, this particular merchant changes his plans as to where he intends to source it from, but it's evident from the quest dialogue he is not alone in this interest in ceruleum and its applications.
