There are so many times the Oxford comma prevents ambiguity. I have yet to see a counterexample. Commas separate list entries, don't change it for the last one.

Spoilers: There is no "why not" in the article (aside from "tradition").

It is important to use the Oxford Comma because it is commonly accepted, fits with tradition, and is just correct.
