Hi,

I see this was ready to merge, but I would like to still comment on the error message a bit.

IMO, it should be emphasized a bit more that the file might not exist, which I suspect happens much more often than a backend missing. I came across this PR after me and a colleague struggled with opening a netCDF file for twenty minutes, trying to install different backends and such, until we realized that there was a typo in the filename we were trying to open.

The error message could be something like:

> Error opening `{store_spec}`: The file does not exist or is not supported by any of xarray's currently installed IO backends `{installed}`. Consider explicitly ...

It's a small change, but in the current version there is a risk that a beginner who knows nothing about storage backends gets stuck on ""did not find a match in any of the installed backends"" and goes on a wild goose chase installing packages like we did.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,895983112
