Most people on city water would be FINE with a simple inline filter
like they sell for icemakers in the fridge, cost no more than about $20
with a bit of shopping and pretty much clears up all the taste issues.

Your "most" and "all" claims are debatable. Here in my part
of the country, municipal water is so bad they have to add tons
of chloramines just to make it pass state health standards. It
smells and tastes like overchlorinated pond scum.
