It's not entirely clear to me if Boruto the movie retcons or expands this, but it seems that the Otsutsuki planted the tree, participated in the war over the tree and ultimately Kaguya broke the rules. The original plan was to turn the fruit into edibles that grant immense -but temporary- power. The rule was thus established by the Otsutsuki, not the humans.

Secondarily, all "ninja" abilities come from the fruit. Thus, anyone eating the fruit (even, say, a monkey or insect) would be granted immense power, chakra, immortality, regeneration, and a number of kekkei genkai.

I don't think she even had the Byakugan (it doesn't really make sense considering it's powers either) TheOneWhoLovesNaruto wrote: As for the Shinju, It was also sealed within the moon and there is no way that it would produce another fruit and that someone would eat it again. Incorrect. Boruto the movie reveals that more than one Shinju exists. Although one would have to leave this planet to acquire a fruit (or, for that matter, replant the shinju somehow and let it grow again).
