I just don't think that you can follow some rule dogmatically

Sure you can, if the rule is "don't write shitty software that crashes". In which scenario do you think users are more likely to buy: when an app crashes with no indication of what caused it, or if an app pops up a message along the lines of "we couldn't connect to Google Play; is it disabled for some reason?"

I stated clearly, that every developer should aspire to develop apps, that do not crash.
