Lexico "by Oxford":

    1.1 Common or widely distributed. (UK entry)

    1.1 In many places; common or widely distributed. (US entry)

Collins:

    3. You use everywhere to emphasize that you are talking
    about a large number of places, or all possible places.

    4. If you say that someone or something is everywhere, you
    mean that they are present in a place in very large numbers.

I hope that helps :)

Cheers,
Miguel
