Even where grey water systems are deployed for water re-use, shower water /is/ normally collected, but piss would be so diluted as to be a negligable contaminant. A shower uses roughly 70 litres of water. An average human bladder voiding is 400ml, so that works out at 0.57% piss in the grey water collected in a single shower. Negligable.
That’s not even what I’m criticizing. You said you’ve done pipe jobs, and it’s all pipes: you can only attest for where you have worked
And no, in some places water may be used very differently. Pee may contain a lot of unwanted chemicals, especially when the person is medicated
Edit: In cities in western countries of course most of the time it’s all going to the same place. But I don’t think that’s why it’s taboo to pee in the shower. It’s because it’s seen as unhealthy for the other people using the shower / bathtub
in your country*
In any country, I would think.

Piss away.

How would it be unhealthy? Do you not wash your ass in the shower? Does spit and snot not come out of your body in the shower?
