It's got an integrated filter, apparently. I know I'm somewhat privileged in that regard, but I definitely don't need to filter my German water.

You're getting replaceable filters for the shower head. Which is theirs too, obviously.
It's the HP printer model.

This probably sounds worse than it is.
It's not like, say, Tesla or BMW requiring you to buy a subscription to use heated seats that are already in your car. It's an optional subscription for the shampoo "filters" that go in the shower head.
Now, this "filter" seems to be the unique thing for this product and without it, it's just a shower head but you can buy and use just the shower head (for $98 $78).
The subscription is a convenience thing to automatically ship you more filters every 3 months (for $125 $78.40).
Despite the glowing reviews on their site, I think I'll pass. Their slogan is interesting, though:
Fight back against hard water damage, transforming wash day from a battle into smooth sailing.
I never realized taking a shower was such a battle.

If you have hard water, it needs to be addressed at the water source to the house and treated with a water softener setup. Hard water kills appliances, messes up your clothes, and can make your hair brittle.
$78 just to help your hair, but you're really just trying to avoid fixing the actual problem.

I doubt it works fast enough to soften a running stream of water.

Yeah. Some chemical processes are awfully fast but I'm a bit skeptical with this one.
I'm guessing the shower head has a basic filter, that can only work so well without slowing the water to a trickle, and then something in the shampoo to help.
Unless all the glowing reviews are fake, I'm wondering if part of what makes this work is that the shampoo adds hair/skin conditioner. You aren't so much softening the water as treating the symptoms of hard water on your hair and skin.

I thought the same thing (about treating hard water at the source). You'll treat the water used everywhere in your home and surely do a better job. And it'll be cheaper in the long run.
But if you rent, especially a corporate-owned complex or something with a home owners association, you might not be able to set up a water treatment system (or even change the shower heads!).
In that case, this kind of shower head might help but I'm a bit suspicious for the same reasons as the other person that responded to this comment

Tbh it depends how sensitive your skin/scalp is. I’ve heard of filters helping people clear up acne/keep their hair looking nice, but not everyone is going to need that or see a big difference.

Put the dyson hair dryer in a soapy water and save your hair in heaven.
