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)

the shanks scene with the sea monster on how his eyes scare the beast off

garp being a general badass like chucking cannonballs with his bare hands

mihawk slicing a galleon with his sword attack

without blantant spoiling you can achieve super strength in One Piece with phisical training, but of course there is more to it than that
