The unchecked exception example doesn't seem any different than using a dynamically typed language and reading return values, and exceptions seem to get significantly more hate than those.

Because even in a dynamically typed language you can generally go look at what the function returns. You can’t look at what it throws without walking the entire call stack and inspecting the source code of the runtime.
