> letting badly programmed software die when unexpected things happen

Go ahead and program a flight controller this way, I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

I'd still rather have the software crash and alert a human that to continue in a faulty state. The way to add robustness in this case is to add backup systems, not "ON ERROR RESUME NEXT".
