You are all mad! The sun is definitely getting oxygen! The giant space bellows hide just out of sight on the precisely opposite side of the sun from earth, so we’ve never been able to observe them.

Gringolth the oxidation wizard had been pumping them for millions of years. The biggest risk is that he dies before being replaced by an offspring!

This is an often misunderstood aspect of the sun. The sun doesn’t need to pull oxygen into itself to burn. It just does a bit of fusion magic!

When a star is dense enough it starts to fuse Helium together through a process called the “triple alpha process”; which results in Carbon! From there it’s pretty direct for the star to fuse one more Helium to the Carbon via stellar nucleosynthesis to create Oxygen!

So you see, the Sun doesn’t need to draw Oxygen from space. It just makes its own!

The sun isn’t space, it has plenty of oxygen.
