ElI5: Are raw eggs really that dangerous?

I don’t get why we’re taught cookie dough is so dangerous because of salmonella when some athletes can chug raw eggs everyday and be fine

You point out salmonella infection risk and people chugging raw eggs being fine.
Those raw eggs are probably fresh so the risk they take is pretty small.

But the point I’d like to make is that taking a risk and all going well doesn’t mean it wasn’t dangerous.
If you cross a highway on foot and make it to the other side without accident, does that mean it wasn’t dangerous? No.
Flipped around: if you buy a lottery ticket and don’t win, does that mean you never had a chance?
