if you use "error 'help'" in a pipeline, the pipeline will exit. The text 'help' appears in the overall log, but not in the log for the step/node.

[JENKINS-39337] error step has no log output
How is this designed at all? if it just throws an exception, why does this step exist? it doesn't provide anything extra over throw Exception("message here")?
It should at least log the message, or else be removed as a step with no purpose.

new hudson.AbortException('message') specifically, which is not whitelisted, and not really something a user would be expected to know about. There is also an open RFE to allow you to set the build status, which would be an even more torturous and non-whitelisted construction if you had to do it by hand.

No, it should not. It is up to the catcher to decide whether and how to respond to an exception.
As designed. It throws up an exception. Whoever catches that exception may choose to log it, or not. If the exception terminates the build, the build log shows it. ErrorAction can be used to determine which steps terminated with this exception.
