Tempered glass is designed to intentionally shatter into lots of tiny pieces. Consider the other way. Where glass breaks into a few large pieces. Those are big enough to penetrate your body and really hurt you. The tiny pieces will give you a bunch of small cuts rather than one giant gash.

Especially for the shower where you'll likely be right next to the glass when it breaks and pretty much have no protective gear or clothes on.
