Seawater is 10% saturated IIRC, so you'd have to make the saturated solution first, and if the easiest way to do that is to dissolve another cavern then using brine doesn't have much of a cost advantage over "use this one until it collapses, then dissolve the rubble or make another."

I disagree that there is no cost associated with making another. Externalising environmental and rectification cost should not be the default approach.
