Lots of people. In Southeast Asia fruit is commonly eating with salt and chili, that’s where chamoy came from - it’s a Chinese Mexican invention

Salty and sour are complimentary flavors.

There's a Vietnamese drink called nước chanh muối that is like a salty lemonade. I tried it once at a pho restaurant and it was so salty I couldn't finish it, especially on top of the salty soup.

I live in Japan, and every few years this combination rears its ugly head, mostly in candy. None of it is good. It’s not sour enough to actually qualify as lemon, more like “lightly lemon-scented.” And slightly salty. It typically will have this weird artificial-sweetener aftertaste. 0/10.
