It isn't. Congestion in the core of the network shouldn't happen.

That's conflating two different things. It's possible to oversubscribe and still have no congestion, because having 100% of customers all use 100% of their connections at the same time literally never happens.
As long as the uplink can carry the peak load in practice, there will not be any congestion. If it can't then the network is too oversubscribed, which should not happen.
