We recently installed one, and it wasn't too bad pricewise compared to some crazy costs I've heard. Remineralizes. If anyone is looking for a recommendation.

We are really happy with a Home Master system that has a mineralization cartridge. I haven't done a water test or anything but the system is far better than our normal hard tap water and doesn't taste sterile like filtered pitcher water.
I love this one. It has great reviews, it's compact, and supposedly is a 1:1 production ratio meaning it wastes 1 gallon of water for every 1 gallon of filtered water it produces. This is actually very good as most systems are 3:1. The pressure is very good with the pressurized tank and it is relatively easy to install yourself.
I don't need a video about the basics of water purity. I'm aware that impurities in water are what makes it fully stable but RO systems don't do this. In fact most consumer grade systems have remineralization to prevent the issues that come from filtering too much.

Look at the asterisk. Yeah, some viruses or bacteria can be, yet industry wide RO systems tell you not to rely on your filter alone for bacteria or viruses and there's probably a good reason for that. Like being sued or killing people. The FDA article specifically talks about use in hospitals or in patients with immune suppression issues. I'm going to take the industry's word and the FDA's word on the fact that RO systems don't filter out all bacteria and viruses and shouldn't be considered a method of killing microbes in water.
Back to remineralization:

This one does it.

This one does it via water softener methods(calcium and potassium chloride)

Adds calcium.

Has an attached water softener aka adds minerals back in the water.
These are the most common home units on Amazon, so my guess is that a lot of folks have something similar and all of them add some mineral back in post-filtration. You know why? Distilled water isn't good for us in the reasons mentioned in the video you linked.
That doesn't in any way mean that the average consumer RO system is somehow unhealthy or 'bad water' because the systems by design add back to the water post filtration. You are not drinking 100% pure water and if your TDS is that low my guess is your water softener/remineralizer is probably not working. That doesn't make all RO filtered water unsafe. It makes your RO filtered water unsafe.
