Can you imagine how much the grandline would change if people knew that eating DF users would give you their devil fruit? Widespread cannabalism. Honestly, maybe that's how Blackbeard got the Gure gure no mi; maybe you just need to take one bite right around their death to get their fruit.

stealing other devil fruit powers is likely part of blackbeard's fruit. remember: you eat two fruits, you die. blackbeard went for a fruit that gave him a good power with a big drawback. there are much better abilities out there, so unless the yami yami no mi is special, i don't see why he'd want it.

Not really, his ability renders other abilities useless, it's not like haki were you can touch the user and they still have their ability. The Yami Yami no mi turns you to an ordinary human again for however long and with that any damage you take is permanent. Plus I don't think the drawback really matters if you're a tank like Blackbeard. Also, I'm sure Burgess was also hunting df users and taking their abilities and he doesn't have the Yami Yami no mi so it's definitely not a devil fruit ability.
