My elderly father makes about two or three journeys per year by public

He does not 'deserve' to pay through the nose.
If he chooses to pay more than he needs to, he does.
No he does not. He's not got a snowball's chance in hell of getting an
Oyster. He'll turn up to the station and buy a ticket.
That is choosing to pay more than he needs to.
Not if the number of journeys he makes in total per year does not warrant
getting an Oyster (and I doubt it)
Why "per year"? Two journeys total to break even.
Not if when he next makes a TfL journey it doesn't start with an opportunity
to buy an Oyster (eg on a bus)
Get him one in his name now, then! And you said that he would "turn up
at the station and buy a ticket", anyway.
Not if he simply cannot understand the value/benefit because it has not been
explained to him.
I don't see the relevance of this. Maybe you should tell him "this
will save you money".
