as good old chap Arnold once said, no pain, no gain. working out in any way goes much deeper than bigger muscles and better cardio system (and denser bones, and stronger joints, and...). one of most interesting side effects is that once you regularly push yourself from any sort of comfort zone into sweating-like-pig (or even better with climbing, pushing yourself over your fear or death which is pretty darn strong emotion), repeatedly, routinely, something strange and beautiful happens (well it did to me). you start taking life's challenges with a smile, not fearing them, rather taking them as a mean of improving oneself. I could go on, but I presume you get the picture.
No pill is ever going to supplement this. And as you write, I would be also extremely surprised if this doesn't have multitude of nasty side effects on various parts of our bodies.
But if you look around you, ie how much cash flows into diet supplements/losing weight business, yes it will be probably success. People are lazy, too busy etc. and are looking for quick solutions for their issues, rather than actually investing some time.
