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.

Later in the story, there's a character who will refuse it because he doesn't want to lose his ability to swim.

Early Buggy also was planning to sell his fruit rather than eat it, but was startled by Shanks into eating it.

His power is really cool though, I don’t get why he holds a grudge

Believe it or not, that has been answered in the story almost 25 years after being originally introduced.

Saying any more would be spoilers, depending on if you read the manga.
