Is "Validate Form" action conditional by itself?

I know that I can add conditional in the actions flow if I want my flow to do different things depending on a condition. So I assumed that whenever an action follows another directly, both would execute.

However, when I use the "Validate Form" action, the next action only runs if the first didn't encounter errors. Which makes sense in a practical sense, but it still seems in conflict with the logic I imagined.

Isn't there a way to get the result of the validation in a conditional after the action? I mean, what if I wanted to execute another action when the validation returns an error, besides the error message that comes with the action?

Am I missing something?
