The problem is, what should be the output, when the user sets Match_mode 2 together with Search_mode 2 or -2.
Excel returns #VALUE! for the combination =XLOOKUP(C3;A$1:A$3;B$1:B$3;"INV";2;2)

It is not some kind of interruptive error box but a typical way to give feedback on typos or for unspecified content. Silently switching to some other way of processing is almost impossible to understand for users. And I cannot follow the arguments that no error message makes the handling easier.
