Nature makes brine too. Its just not as localized as a big reverse osmosis plant would be. As one of my professors put it: “The solution to the problem of pollution is dilution”.
Dilution can only work in some cases. In this case I agree that any water distilled will probably go back into the ocean/sea.
In some cases dilution does not work, when the materials are bio-accumulative such as Mercury.
