How to remove space at the start of inline enumitem itemized list?
Here I show the out-of-the-box behaviour of an inline itemized list, and then a workaround that achieves the look I'm after. The desired look is achieved, here, by manually adding a negative space to left-align the first line of the lede. Can the alignment be made to work as desired using built in enumitem options?

Sorry for asking, but what is the purpose then of doing this as a list?

see theafterlabeloption, setting it toafterlabel=,aka no value seems to work. I still do not understand the use case though.

I started with a bullet list, and now just want to change how it looks. I realise I could get the text to flow in the usual way if I remove the list markup, but it feels like enumitem should be able to take care of that for me. That way I can preserve the logical structure.

For inline lists there are a few extra options. For example afterlabel by default inserts a non-breaking space (a same as ~) after the list label. Since there are no label here, the non breaking space is clearly visible.
Using
afterlabel=,
sets this value to be empty, and the space goes away.
