Someone I know has a bathroom that is not GFCI compliant, and I was wondering if it is possible to have a shower that’s humid enough to allow electricity to transfer, or would at that point would the air be inhospitable to breathe in.

As said in another comment, with high enough voltage, it’s all conductive.
That said, in the space of a whole room, there’s a lot of things going on. The electricity is trying to find the most effective single path to ground so, once you get to a voltage that can travel through the medium, it then has to navigate the entire room for that path, going through resistance at every point. By the time the charge gets anywhere, it will have been diminished to nothing. Also, paths and resistances will change unendingly due to temperature, dewpoint temperatures in air pockets, airflow, the content of the air that isn’t water or air itself, etc.
Technically, being INSIDE water is being at maximum humidity so that personally counts for me.
