It's generally quite unlikely that sharing your salary is going to result in getting bitten by that. You'd need to do labour organization (or be completely surrounded by rats and snitches and other vermin at your workplace, who already have an axe to grind) to actually get blowback for this stuff.
Most of the taboo around it is cultural, because people here attach their self-worth to their paycheck.
You could also always do it anonymously or pseudonymously. You'd have almost no chances of retaliation in that case.
The singular of anecdote is not data. Getting hit by lightning is also unlikely, but it happens to thousands of people every year.
That doesn't mean I'll be flying a kite in a thunderstorm, but it also doesn't mean that you should lock yourself in a bunker the moment the sky turns grey.
Most of the taboo around this is cultural, not retributive.

Isn't being dismissed because of something like that and being able to prove it is a bit like winning a lottery?

Basically the only advantage an employee can have in this sort of negotiation is not needing to be employed by that company.
