I thought like, canonically, avada kedavra fucks up your soul or whatever everytime you use it and it slowly corrupts you or something
Are you referring to how Voldemort split his soul to create the Horcruxes? The books only specify that a murder is needed to split the soul, not that the murder needs to be done using the killing curse
No there was actually something in there about avada kedavra being bad for the soul (or something like that), though I’m not sure if that specific bit applied just to the spell or to killing in general.
IIRC, it was killing in general. I think thenspell just isn’t used because most people don’t go around life wanting to murder other people. Although we’re putting more thought into it than she did probably.

So it has a downside.
Also, to work, you have to be able to mean it and basically be a psychopath for it to even work right.
Isn’t there explanations for why people dont just use it willy nilly?
