I like Palms, but I like Weeping Willows much more. As for being out of place, yeah I don't think of Oceanic climates as a place that is home to Palm trees even though they might be able to grow there. Sub tropical, tropical and desert climates come to mind.
Some Oceanic climates have their own palms, and have vegetation that is more subtropical in nature, that that found in many subtropical and desert areas.
Classification is of little use for understanding flora.

I like Willows too,looking at photos they look great,here in South America there are only 1 native Willow,the Salix Humboldtiana,they grows from Some tropical Regions where they are Evergreen,becaming Deciduous when reach Subtropical climates,they grow in Southern Brazil too,making it the only native temperate deciduous tree of the country,and keep growing along the rivers until Santa Cruz Province in Patagonia.
Yes, palm trees might not look out of place in oceanic climates with a REAL summer, like Bordeaux, La Coruña or Wellington, but they do look silly in places with fake and full overcast "we had 98 hours of sun in June" 'summers', like... hmm... what example should I use... can't remember... Ah, yes, London!

WTF is that thing?
Is that the same London with warmer summer days than A Coruna and Wellington?
Also, we had 101 hrs in June, not 98. It was our cloudiest June ever, but it at least made 3 figures.

Clutching at straws there...
La Coruna is warmer and sunnier than London in summer, and summer lasts longer, so has more of a summer for sure.
Plus, palm trees actually fit in with the surroundings there.
London is warmer during the day, when it matters. That remains the case if you take A Coruna's 3 warmest months, rather than the summer.
It's sunnier, but not noticeably so (about 80 hours extra for the entire summer).
That palm tree does not look out of place.
