Here is my Opinion.

Common way to handle erros inside the try block is throwing an error when response.ok isn’t true in order to make the catch block be executed, so that we can handle all errors at the same place.
See example bellow for a better understanding:

try {
  const response = await fetch('https://restcountries.com/v4.1/all');

  if (response.ok) {
    console.log('Promise resolved and HTTP status is successful');
    // ...do something with the response
  } else {
    // Custom message for failed HTTP codes
    if (response.status === 404) throw new Error('404, Not found');
    if (response.status === 500) throw new Error('500, internal server error');
    // For any other server error
    throw new Error(response.status);
  }
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Fetch', error);
  // Output e.g.: "Fetch Error: 404, Not found"
}

Here we throw errors to handle them in the catch block and also display a custom message in the console depending on the type of error.

• when response.ok returns false, we can simple throw an error, so the catch block will be executed
• catch will then handle all types of errors
• catch accepts an argument that can be customized when throwing errors from the try block
• response.status can be used to check the returned HTTP status code to display customized messages in the console (like 400, 404, 500…).

I hope this will be helpful for you too.
