Since the first of David's suggestions more closely aligns with the recent changes made but does a better job clarifying what the term will cost and what the user will pay, let's go ahead and make that update.

Quick summary
Following https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/pull/71016 this is much less confusing than it used to be, but there is still room for improvement.
Here are a couple examples of what it looks like now:
The biggest problem is that you aren't actually choosing between "One month" and "One year", since (for example) in the Jetpack Social case you are paying for one month regardless of which of the two you choose.
From discussion at pdrWKz-El-p2#comment-924 here is a possible improvement:
Or even a bigger change (this one would also require https://github.com/Automattic/payments-shilling/issues/1313 to get information being removed here into the terms of service section at the bottom of checkout instead, but we really need to do that anyway):
Steps to reproduce
For a Jetpack site, put a Jetpack Social product into your shopping cart.
Or for a WordPress.com site with a domain, put a Professional Email product into your shopping cart (making sure to choose the "Pay monthly" option at https://wordpress.com/email before putting it into your shopping cart).
What you expected to happen
The variant picker for monthly vs. yearly billing to make complete sense.
What actually happened
It made more sense than it used to, but still didn't make total sense :smile:
