Actually...

Liquid hydrogen is ONLY explosive in an oxidising environment. On Jupiter, it would just be cold gas.

Compressed or liquid oxygen on Jupiter would be like dynamite (or more accurately - kerosene) on Earth.

It's about oxidisers and reducers. The end-members don't play well together (or even with some of the mid-rangers if you get extreme enough. Elemental flourine is NASTY stuff)
