I’m sorry, are we really going to pretend long haul flights will become hydrogen in the near future? Has any airport begun building, or even thinking of, refueling infrastructure?

No; it’s a fairly distant thing with there being some aircraft design happening.
It’s not a “next tuesday thing”
Ammonia, steel, and some petrochemicals could be moved much sooner.
