The pricing seems... really weird. Many very different offerings are priced exactly the same. E.g.

VM.Standard.1.1 and VM.Standard1.16, same cost but the latter has 16 cores instead of 1 (same CPU), 112 GB memory instead of 7.

The pricing is per OCPU (Oracle CPU core) per hour. 16 cores = 16x the listed price for a single core. But yes, the table is a perfect example of how bad everything is.
If you ever think you understand the price of anything Oracle, take it as a signal that you are wrong.
