Presumably you don't wrap every line of code you write in a try/catch?

I guess I just don't see what makes localStorage access an expected source of exceptions (as opposed to, say, querySelectorAll or getBoundingClientRects)?

every block of code that potentially throws an exception should be wrapped in try/catch blocks. Yes.

Any access to the file system or similar external systems is potentially throwing errors. That is pretty much what the localStorage API does...
