halide ions strongly interact with the counter-ions.

However, mineral oil is non-polar.

To dissolve the halide ions (and the counter-ions) into mineral oil would drastically raise system energy. Thus it does not work.

More simply, halide ions have a charge and won't easily dissolve in non-polar substances, since like-dissolves-like.
