Apparently cleaning your exhaust with saltwater is good enough for most large ocean vessels but works too well for the auto industry?
Heck you could run a malfunctioning 2 cycle diesel from the 50's and still have clean exhaust using water, which begs the question why not?

IIRC the limiting factor for this sort of stuff was mobility. Ships have access to water wherever they run, so it's no an issue for them, nor was it an issue for relatively stationary heavy duty diesels on land, but having to carry around way more water than fuel isn't viable for most road going vehicles.
