I hope so, because when I worked part-time with Unix/Linux from maybe
2003 to 2013, I used to have a joke, "If you get an error message that
makes no sense at all, check if the disk is full." Not really a joke
because about half the time a vague error occurred, that was the cause.
When you make the application responsible for relaying common failures
to the user or log, the app programmers tend to skip it. One of the
good things about z/OS is you get an abend such as x37 by default, with
no application logic necessary.

cost out of the hardware and instead put it into software that runs on
more commodity / inexpensive hardware.
