No, it’s too sweet because big soda brands are targeting Americans first and Americans just love too much sugar in all foods. There are plenty of non American sodas in Europe and they have only a fraction of sweetness.

Interesting, what’s a common one that the average person would consider good?

The carbonic acid is for the fizz, yeah. The sulfuric and phosphoric acids are to regulate sweetness. Sodas are syrups that get diluted with water hence the need for all that sugar.
