Since oil companies extract oil and sell it on the open market if they didn't sell it but just refined it and sold the finished products. Wouldn't that lower prices?

In many countries the extraction and sale of oil is controlled by their Governments. The major oil companies in the US and Europe do operate refineries and sell the finished products. Companies are owned by shareholders who want maximum profits, that is the way the capitalist system works.

actually you can still extract lead from lead oxide, but you need to do this experiment with carbon or other reducing agent e.g. hydrogen and with a high temperature Celsius.
