The same would apply to anytime you have Result types - ultimately its still just syntactic sugar over "if err then...".
What's far more common in real programs is that an error can occur somewhere where you do not have enough context to handle or resolve it, or you're unaware it can happen. In which case the concept of exceptions is much more valid: "if <bad thing here> what do I want to do?" usually only has a couple of places you care about the answer (i.e. "bad thing happened during business process, so start unwinding that process" and many more where the answer is either "crash" or "log it and move on to the next item".
The problems are that the signature of functions doesn’t say anything about what values it might throw, and that sometimes the control flow is obscured — an innocuous call throws.
Both of these are solvable.
My argument here would be, that all of this though doesn't need to be seen unless its relevant - it seems reasonable that the programmer should be able to write code for the happy path, implicitly understanding there's an error path they should be aware of because errors always happen (I mean, you can straight up run out of memory almost anywhere, for example).
