Long distance HV transmission has expected losses of a percent or less per hundred miles. That's not nothing, but compared to adding fully parallel infrastructure for a fuel source that doesn't seem to actually add up when you look at it? Eh.

Plus, distributed H2 generation is probably less efficient then a few massive refineries, and almost certainly would also consume more resources (worn out equipment, tanks, etc) which would take more energy to replace.
