"Conseguir" significa "poder hacer algo que es difícil".
Comer 12 uvas con el reloj es difícil. Si tú puedes comer todas las uvas, "consigues" comer todas las uvas. Es un mérito.
"La gente come 12 uvas" es una frase normal, no indica ningún mérito.

La diferencia es que cuando se coloca "conseguir" se debe a que tuvieron que encontrarlas, buscarlas y después las comieron

También cuando se dice "la gente consigue comer 12 uvas" es una acción que está en espera, no ha sucedido o está por suceder. En cambio "La gente come 12 uvas" está pasando ahora mismo, es un hecho presente

La primera frase significa que la gente ha logrado comerse las 12 uvas y la segunda significa que la gente siempre come las 12 uvas. Podría considerarse como una tradición.
