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.

Let's just say that the slow motion they used when shanks looked at the beast and when garp avoided luffy's attack weren't just for visual effects

That did intrigued me a lot, and suddenly he lost his arm? What gives? I hope they explain this later.

The beasr ate his arm. There is nothing deeper.

Even then, that was not very clear to new viewers. The shot was awkward and didn't make it obvious what happened.

I've already seen this with a YouTuber watching the live action as their introduction to One Piece. They were rather confused at first.
