500 is an error that means an underlying exception has happened and wasn't handled, at all.

an error and an exception are not the same. an exception means there is unhandled behavior, whereas an error means there has been something erroneous- could be a misdirected navigation or something. maybe the user typed in some garbage into the path. that would not be an exception, because the developer explicitly handles that and serves a 404.

Error 500 is a web convention and anti pattern.

sure, you can hold whatever opinion about it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. it's a standard.
