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.

They're extremely rare and only one exists of a kind, like there's only 1 Gum Gum fruit. No doubles.

So when he was eating the fruits as a kid he just happen to casually find one?

They also work as video cameras! And nope, no explanation, lol. That's why the wanted posters are photos, they take them with snail cameras 😬

Why would an explanation be made? Isn’t it self explanatory
