Because if you do not have a when-others, the error is automatically raised... You DON'T NEED the when-others

SQL> declare
  2 x number;
  3 begin
  4 x := 1 / 0 ;
  5 exception
  6 when others then raise;
  7 end;
  8 /
declare
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01476: divisor is equal to zero
ORA-06512: at line 6

SQL> declare
  2 x number;
  3 begin
  4 x := 1 / 0 ;
  5 end;
  6 /
declare
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01476: divisor is equal to zero
ORA-06512: at line 4
