What happened here on earth in your imagined scenario where it's worth importing water from the moon? (and how did we survive that long enough for a market to develop?)

To be fair, I hesitate to spend €1 on a liter of spring water today. However for a single drop of moon water I might trade my car, sex, or significant work.

Refined aluminum was once scarcer than gold, and aluminum jewelry was extraordinarily expensive.
