Obviously. Therefore if oxygen is produced, and SO4 is present, the oxygen will be removed until it reaches equilibrium.
If oxygen is being removed you're not just talking about an equilibrium any more. The equilibrium is NOT what is responsible for removing the oxygen. If it were responsible, it could no longer be considered an equilibrium. So invoking an equilibrium involving sulfuric acid as a way to explain the disappearing oxygen is inadequate to the task.
