I didn't say there was. What I said was, it would be as easy to get oxygen from water as from these rocks, and it's a big hassle to get it from water. Ergo, it's a pretty big hassle to get it from rocks (which are located on the moon) too. It's not like the lunar oxygen problem is "solved" - 2500 degrees is pretty hot, and it would take an awfully big furnace an awfully long time to get a community's worth of oxygen.
