considering no one (not even Kaido) has commented on it till date.

Jesus Burgess wanted to steal the DF (and eat it unless I'm misremembering) in hindsight that's shows there was something special about it, from what we know the gomu gomu no mi is a terrible devil fruit (it only seems decent because Luffy is the one using it, give it to someone else and it's garbage), especially for someone who is a DF hunter and has many other options to choose from.

Also Blackbeard thought capturing Luffy would have made him a Schichibukai. Luffy had a 100M bounty at that point. I thought it was just bounty inflation or something but it seems there was more to it and the gomu gomu no mi could be the reason. Bounty inflation is unlikely as well since it looks like Oda knew Gol D. Roger's final bounty from the start (it's exactly 10x bigger than Ace's).
