The roboRIO automatically restarts crashed user code, so a persistent code error will cause the user code to keep restarting over and over again.
From what I understand, a better message for the error would be "Robots shouldn't quit." It means the robot has stopped running, and basically the program has concluded. "Robots don't quit" means your code has stopped, but real "robots don't quit." They should keep running.
