i know but it’s really unacceptable. in real world you never pay for anyone for job they didn’t do it correctly. I think ethereum and other blockchains should consider this problem.

The experience sucks, but basically: the network charges you for the computation you requested and it doesn't care if that computation was useful, so you have to pay for the transaction even if it ends up erroring out.
