It sounds scary, but there’s no direct path to the electricity since there is no laminar flow between you and the showerhead and most of the water that is passing over the showerhead is not especially electrically conductive because there are no salts mixed into it that don’t come directly from the water plant.
It has to actually have a mechanical fault that doesn’t cause the shower heater to stop working and you have to come physically into contact with the shower head while that fault is going on in order for you to get zapped.
But it is possible for you to get zapped by them, and some people have died, I am sure, although I don’t personally have any proof.
Electric heating element in the shower head.

Your comment seems to rely on people not being able to hold the showerhead in their hand. Are they all fixed/rain type showers?
Electroboom has a good video on them.
