The Oxygen-free feature of copper wire is about enhanced flexibility,

Ummmmmm, question?

If kept dry, both will last until long after we die. Is this not a moot
point?


Mostly true, the biggest advantage to oxygen free copper is in applications
where the cord gets daily flexing, think of all the times you have found
a broken spot in the cord on an iron, vacuum cleaner or shaver. With oxygen free
wire, it is supposed to last longer.
