My anecdote: I have been purchasing RO water from the local grocery store for quite some time because I dislike the taste of my tap water after softening. For a long while I drank the RO water as-is. When I started adding mineral drops to the water, I felt a lot better.
Obviously there are limits but having your water tested from time to time isn't bad advice.
Another thing I do is test my kids toys for lead, and it comes up positive roughly 1 out of 15 times. I could trust that the government and the big box store makes sure that never happens, maybe you do, but I do science so I can know instead.
Knowing > Trusting
Or the science of it being a problem (or not) to be accurate?
The flaw in your reasoning is that you implicitly assume trust anywhere
It's wild that people think water quality has gotten worse over time.
