Because most projects dont have a native exception handler. And note
that this cannot be a python exception, since control at the end of the
function returns to native code, not the python VM. 

The correct solution is for application developers to add exception
handling in their implementation in python. The discussion here is about
the best way to prompt them to do that. 

IMO a segfault is hostile and harder to debug. A print and return False 
or qFatal() is much easier than a segfault.
