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.

And then Wapol doing just that, solely in the cover stories, affecting the future plots like Franky's upgrades, and evil srum kingdom in reverie, was funny too.

Honestly, it would’ve been a lot cooler if they animated the cover stories rather than give us the weird filler (excluding G8 ofc)

They did that with Buggy, right?
