I mostly opened this because even though it's an easy thing to fix when it comes up, looking around at the other related tickets & PRs e.g. #1254 I get the sense that 404's need to be addressed in the more general case instead of on each resource.

I also keep running into this issue. Would love to see a fix.

Hey @evralston and @dasch, I don't think this is something that can be easily fixed across providers that use different error types, but we can definitely improve the code a bit for the google one (it'll still be something that has to go in each resource though, unless you have an idea on how to make it more automatic).

Fixed for the rest of the resources in #14335
