I think you should hire for that skill.

In practice, I do not think candidates are hired for that skill. I have never been asked about error handling in an interview.

Generalizing things because you've never experienced them on an individual level seems like a bit of a stretch. Anyway, it may not be asked in interviews but I've interviewed ~300 engineers for a FAANG company and its something I cover in interviews for the reasons described.
