The handling might need to be non-uniform, but the exception hierarchy doesn't.

Not talking about i18n formatting now.
Sometimes I'd like to add a 'trait' to an exception, but find myself needing
to create a new exception type just for that, which will sit oddly in the
hierarchy.

Consider the case of rethrowing an exception with added detail.
