Validator validated throws exception

Lines 18 to 25 in 20137ae

	/**
	* Get the attributes and values that were validated.
	*
	* @return array
	*
	* @throws \Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException
	*/
	public function validated();

Why does validated throw an exception, is this not duplicating the functionality of validate?
If I only care about the fields that are validated, I don't want an exception to be thrown, if I wanted that, I would use validate()
Why was the api changed from Laravel 6 - to me, this api performs what it's designed to do. Was version 6's functionality put into a new function that I'm missing?
