https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-useless-catch

Report pointless catch blocks like this:

try {
  doSomethingThatMightThrow();
} catch (e) {
  throw e;
}

They either indicate that there's extra code that can be removed, or more usefully, that the user intended to do something before re-throwing the error but forgot to do that.

0% ecosystem impact, so this is an easy rule to enable.
