Unchecked exceptions will eventually lead into programs crashing because some developer forgot to catch specific type of exception somewhere.

That seems like a better outcome than continuing when an error happened while thinking everything succeeded?
And developers never forget to check error codes.
may I introduce you to the nodiscard attribute[1]?

Looking at code, it‘s easier to spot the missing check for an error code, than a not catched exceptions.
Also error codes are part of the signature of a function, which exceptions aren‘t.
