The recent Info from Vegapunk has led me to this conclusion.
Devil Fruits are the manifestations of inherited will that lived on after the death of a dreamer who couldn't see his dream come true.
Dreamers who's will to see their dreams come true was so strong that it forced itself into reality
Inherited will has been talked about a few times in the manga and I think it's a legitimate force, not just a metaphor.
not only that, but who could forget about this iconic quote
Isn't it a coincidence that the man who said this is the same man who studied Devil Fruits and is the only character who could host more than One Devil Fruit at once?
I don't think so, this has to have a purpose, Blackbeard who cannot sleep, thus cannot dream, talks about People's Dreams while being able to Host more than One "Dream" (Devil fruit), as he has a void in his Heart.
This concept of the fruits being manifested Dreams explains a lot of One Piece lore the more and more that I think about it
The more we find out the more clearer things will get
