Commercial buildings and hotels use glossy marble floors in entrances
quite often.
Of course they can afford the insurance.

Building codes and ADA requirements in the US proscribe use of materials
with certain minimum "slip coefficient". Typically around 0.5 but can vary
by location. There are treatments that can be put on stone which reduce the
slipperyness. It is unlikely that even these polished stone floors are as
slippery as untreated glossy tiles.
