My current best guess is Java's checked exception silliness comes from the enterprise framework culture. Too much abstraction, architecture, cleverness, turgidity. I joke that Spring is an Exception obfuscation framework.

I've always really liked checked exceptions in my own designs. Though I'm not crazy about the syntax.

Java blew it on generic exceptions.

  stream.map(f).collect(...)

should be able to throw anything f can throw, but instead f has to wrap everything, which makes people give up and stop declaring checked exceptions.
