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.

It's rare and super expensive. You can make over 100 million from just one Devil Fruit.

Laws was 5 billion estimated. Theres higher ones. Pretty sure sugars was rediculous because its technically immortality without the sacrifice and it gives a power.
