the times I need to do this is to show a default for something
or just ensure there is a valid value returned from the function, most of the time this is used on places where failure is not critical or it's a "top level" UI element function call
I'd say it's kind of fail behind scenes keep the good face up

A good example of when you might want to do this is if it’s a known exception and you are going to hand wave it away.
