Also a question of how astrological bodies are formed. There's a large amount of those elements that are easily accessible in asteroids. If there was ever a reason to asteroid mine, it would be for those elements. Iron being pretty prolific in general and in asteroids probably does go well with their siderophilic properties, which is probably why we tend to find those elements in large amounts in asteroids.
