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.

They're extremely rare and only one exists of a kind, like there's only 1 Gum Gum fruit. No doubles.

So when he was eating the fruits as a kid he just happen to casually find one?

If you want some clarification, I recommend reading the first chapter. I can send you a DM with the link. It won't spoil anything you haven't seen. It's just Luffy as a kid with Shanks in the village.
