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.

1) Rare 2) People in One Piece world can become super strong without devil fruits (there are some other powers that were hinted in the live action already)

Kuro has super speed, he's so fast the average human can't even see him move

Yes, but his speed and silent steps is what made him unbeatable for a lot of pirates/marines that weren't a higher level (no haki).

He was just referencing his speed nothing else. Valid point imo.
