When topping off your tank, is there a requirement to further treat RO/DI water?

I am new to this hobby and forum. A recurring theme I’ve come across here is the need for a QT for introducing new fish as well as treatment of illness. I’ve also noticed that when someone posts here with a problem they are jumped on if they failed to QT new fish. My question is why don’t we...
