You still don't get it?  No shell provides you with a correct error
message.  There is quite some work involved (reading program header,
finding the interpreter entry, checking the file) to give a meaningful
error message.  Changing the error code alone achieves nothing.

At the very least the shells in Red Hat releases for many years.
