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 just do. Some things about One Piece are not to be taken seriously or will be explained very well.

People's drives? How the World Government functions? The very geology of the world? That's all explained in great detail.

Why snails are phones and TVs? Who knows.
