Why are ultraviolet lights not more commonplace if they are so effective at sanitizing?

Wouldn’t it make sense to install UV lights in bathrooms? Over doors and possibly on door handles? I’ve seen wearable UV lights, but I don’t see it being worn by frontline personnel.
We have seen social distancing indicators, plexiglass dividers and masks become commonplace. I feel like UV light should also be more commonplace, but it isn’t. Why not?

UV light also damages other things like plastic and people. Sit next to a UV light long enough and you’ll get sunburned. Stare into it and you can go blind.
