It's a bizarre style choice. Especially if they chose to express the numbers in dollars to make the amounts more relatable to international readers.

I've found that over time, it became easy for me to parse. It's just one arbitrary set of conventions over another.

Making the superfluous grapheme smaller and the important graphee larger actually makes logical sense for me. YMMV

If you think that's bad, wait until you see the crazy things people do with dates. Day/Month/Year is crazy enough, but then you have people using the nonsensical Month/Day/Year.

I hold out hope that one day we'll all be using Year/Month/Day, but given how slowly the metric conversion is going I hold out little hope (as a Brit I can't apologise enough for the imperial system).

Why not just get used to it? Nowadays I only infer the meaning of commas and dots from the context. Because now matter which one you pick, someone is going to get confused.
