The horror! Using exceptions as a data transport mechanism is like using a fire alarm as an intercom. Some backend dev actually built a system where they're intentionally throwing exceptions to pass data between services! That's like deliberately crashing your car to change lanes. Exception handling is meant for exceptional circumstances, not as your primary API. The stack traces alone would make any performance profiler weep. Imagine the logs: "ERROR: Everything's actually fine, we just needed to send some JSON to the payment service." This is the programming equivalent of using a sledgehammer to insert a thumbtack.
