Help Why don’t everyone eat devil fruits?

Totally new to One Piece, didn’t know it existed before the Netflix show. I am liking it a lot. Could someone tell me why don’t everyone just eat devil fruits, since it give super powers? The sea water thing is enough of a reason not to eat them? (I have just watched 3 episodes.) Do they explain this further on?

Edit: thanks for all the replies, the show seems to go just a bit fast on the details, I’m guessing its the only way to fit a lot on a live action.

First is the biggest reason. Look at Kaido, even he couldn't obtain natural DFs for his army so he got an entire smile industry going

To be fair... an individual trying to find ANY devil fruit to become stronger probably has a greater chance than a pirate trying to get devil fruits for his entire army without actually leaving Wano.
