Oxygen doesn’t belong on that list, I think - the earth’s oxygen was made by the first living things.

The didn't make the oxygen, they unlocked it from various molecules and minerals etc. It had to be here first.

But I don't think there is anything special on there being oxygen in the cloud of gas that formed the solar system. The distribution of elements following a supernova probably follows some law, and oxygen is low enough on the periodic table that probably quite a bit of it is expected.

True - oxygen is very abundant, though, so its presence is not surprising.
