Universities don't teach that. And a university education is not sufficient to produce even a reasonable professional programmer. Big O notation is absolutely worthless when one is trying to figure out why the third party service access code is failing.

I code for failures proactively. Others don't.

Some don't even code for failures at all in any reasonable way.
Some don't understand how failures can occur.
Some code for some types of failures while ignoring others (usually not even understanding that they can occur.)

Some incorrectly handle certain types of errors. Or perhaps even most for this category.

I can't recall anyone ever testing for errors even when they code for it until I review the code and point out the missing tests.

And this is not junior developers but seniors with decades of experience.
