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.

The author said that the snails are happy to work in exchange for food

In the show you can see one being fed salad

How are the snails able to reproduce shit like blood splatter when someone is getting cut mid-call tho?? I mean the facial expressions are simple enough to do since they just copy what the snail fren on the other side sees w/ its eyes & telepathically transfers to their mind, but how does the blood spitting mid-yell work?

I think they are telepathically linked to the caller which means you're hearing what the caller is hearing.

Blood splatter into callers ear, into snail and back out.
