> If you have a mortgage, you can deduct the interest. I think most people are in this category

That's true, but you need to have other deductions or a fairly large mortgage for it to be worth taking that deduction instead of the standard deduction. Most people are better off with the standard deduction.

This is true, especially after the standard deduction nearly doubled for most in 2017.
