Don't be silly. It is for whoever uses London's transport. There is
no requirement to live in London.

No. The primary market is Londoners.

The secondary market is people from somewhere else who use it to travel
*within* London.

Colin Rosenstiel was talking about journeys from a place outside London
to a place in London and Oyster Card is not intended for that, which
was my point.

Indeed. So why should we be ripped off with an extortionately higher fare?

You're not.

If a Travelcard is cheaper, use it.

If you need to make single journeys as well, get an Oyster as well.

Simple.
