Peasant revolts were actually pretty rare. The only reason it seems otherwise, is that lists like the one you linked to compress centuries of the history of all of Europe into a few lines.
Also, like Desrtopa said until the 17th century, if not later, peasants revolts were about specific grievances rather than an abstract concept of inequality.
Prior to the Enlightenment and secularism, "the abstract concept of inequality" was described as a religious concept rather than a secular one; and was a common feature of medieval "heresies".
