But the local name 'stuff' may only have the information for the immediate
cause. The underlying cause may be available in the generator. Suppose
you have a generator that should only generate positive numbers that you
use to divide some other number by. Your loop crashes because of a DivideByZeroError
Sure the local name shows the dividor to be zero, but you have no
information on why your generator produced a zero, but there may be a
clue in the trace back record of the generator.

It is not a matter of mindreading. And it is not a completely different
functions stack trace. It is the trace back record of a generator that
is used by the process/thread that crashed. And AFAIK an active generator
belongs to one specific thread. You can't have it yield a value to a different
thread and you can't send it a value from an other thread. So I really
see no reason to exclude the trace back records of active generators
from a stack trace of a crashed thread.
