I'm told that the inexplicable contradiction of English grammar being bizarrely strict in some unwritten ways but absurdly choose your own adventure in others drives new English learners bonkers.
I get what you're saying, but I do think that it's a good idea to just default to the oxford comma, since it doesn't detract from clarity even in cases when it maybe wasn't necessary, and there are definitely situations where its absence impedes communication. Especially since it can be hard to tell when you're not communicating well sometimes, since you're in your own head and you know what you mean.

Fuck you for hijacking my post to spread Oxford comma propaganda

My actual stance that Oxford commas are fine to use when they are needed for clarity, which is almost never

But they clutter up a sentence
Just the way I like it.
Well that's, just, your opinion, man
