    throw new RuntimeException(e);

Linters like SpotBugs tend to complain about that. But it’s also a matter of naming. If RuntimeException was instead called something like ProgramBug, people might be more reluctant.

In the end, it’s an issue of education. People need to be aware of the possible consequences, and have to be taught how to properly handle such cases. There is no way to automate error handling without the developer having to think about it, because the right thing to do is context-dependent. Checked exceptions at least make the developer aware of failure modes to consider.
