Water is more common elsewhere in the solar system. There might be water ice on the Moon, even Mercury. Comets are largely water ice, so are C-type asteroids. Many moons of the outer planets are supposed to have liquid or water ice in their cores. Titan and Europa possibly have more water than Earth.

Which is to say, there's probably easier and (eventually at least) cheaper planetary targets for H2 and O2 factories.
