Actually, exception rethrowing is a real thing - at least in Java. You may not always want to handle the exception at the absolute lowest level, so sometimes you will instead "bubble" the exception up the callstack. This in turn can help with centralizing exception handling, separation of concerns, and making your application more modular.

It seems counter-intuitive but it's actually legit, again at least in Java. lol

Rethrowing caught exception in C# is just throw;, not throw ex;. This will delete old stack trace, which is very punishable if someone debugs your code later and you're still around.
