My understanding is that the main problem in a person actually breathing the fluid is that the fluid is denser, heavier, and more viscous than a gas (air). We are not used to or designed/adapted to breathing that fluid, and trying to do that would not go well long term. This is something that I remember from various videos and things that I've read over the years. I could have some details off.

I remember watching a program and one of the hosts was talking to a person about liquid oxygen and held held a cat immersed in the fluid. Pulling the cat out after some time, the cat was fine.
Maybe I’m misremembering?
