The logic behind this being that oranges and pears are two separate items that are not connected.

Hi, If you search the Forum for 'Oxford comma', you'll find a lot of discussion of this punctuation, some people against it and some supporting it. Personally, I never in my life even heard of the idea of putting a comma there until I found it discussed in this Forum. Best wishes, Clive
