In the era of solar power saturating the grid in daytime, the energy cost is far less of an issue - At least, I assume California has similar characteristics to Australia in this regard.

There's still cost involved, and solar seems to be around 30% of the total
California is richest state in USA, it's is richer than many countries, it can afford such cost. Florida has more than double the desalination plants than California, and it is poorer than California.
Well first of all Florida absolutely does not do large scale sea water desalination
And second of all when we're talking about large scale electricity needs then cost is obviously not the only concern
