The dirt also has to be cleaned up

You mean the dirt CAN be cleaned up. This is a pro, not a con. The salt also needs to be cleaned up, and it's a LOT harder.

Water washes salt away better (and into our streams), it’s easier on our pipes

You get that's the actual problem we're trying to solve, right? Water washing salt away is the opposite of cleaning up!! We still need to recover that salt, only now it's in our ecosystem.
