Implication: it’s bad for people to have much more information about other people (generally), because they would reward/punish them based on that info, and such rewarding/punishing would be unjust.
I don’t think that’s a necessary implication. In a world where people live in fear of being punished they will be able to act in a way to avoid unjust punishment. That world is still one where people suffer from living in fear.
Whence fear of unjust punishment if there is no unjust punishment? Hypothetically there could be (justified) fear of a counterfactual that never happens, but this isn’t a stable arrangement (in practice, some people will not work as hard to avoid the unjust punishment, and so will get punished)

Most people who have fear of heights don’t often fall in a way that hurts them.
