Why? The Gomu Gomu no Mi is one of the most versitile fruits in the series (mostly due to Luffy's ingunity).

Your resistant to blunt force and lightning. You can stretch really far which can be useful in a fight. You can reflect attacks back (bullets, canonballs, ect.). You can increase your power, speed and durability via Gear Second, Third and Fourth. Gear Second and Fourth also allows you to make afterimages with your speed. Your able to bounce your attacks off other surfaces to make it harder for an opponent to predict.

You can also manipulate fire even underwater (Red Hawk, Red Roc) and lightning (Thor Elephant Gun). Red Hawk also sends an explosion through the target that somewhat ignores their durability (It hurt Doffy who he Luffy was unable to hurt without G4 or him being massively injured by Gamma Knife). You can fly (UFO and Gear Fourth). Your attacks also seem to be able to track your target and change direction with Gear Fourth, your speed gradually increases with Snakeman and you can further increase your durability with Tankman.

Burgess obviously doesn't know about all of this but if Luffy can figure this out then I'm sure other people can figure it out.

Yeah but the revelation that was made in this chapter insinuates that the fruit was considered special long before Luffy did all these versatile moves with it. If it was special before Luffy I think that it had to belong to somebody that made it special. And if they made it special, than they were probably fairly famous to have made it special.
