My wife is pushing for one of these very expensive home water treatment/filtration systems, but it all feels like a scam to me. No one I know has one, so turning to random strangers on the internet for opinions.
Edit: We’re on city water in a decent area. No well water. It’s more about removing the chlorine and microplastics than anything.

Why is removing the chlorine important to your wife? Why does she think a filter won’t introduce more microplastics than it removes? Is the entire filter system plastic free? (The answer to that is "no. ")
You are only partially correct. The systems have plastic in them, but that’s nowhere in any way a guarantee they’re adding more plastic than they’re removing. At all.
Just as there is no evidence that microplastics actually cause any disease. Remember when we were kids and loved to chew on lead blinds?
