6.0.X

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new 3D URP project
In Edit > Project Settings > Graphics, delete the Default Profile reference (by deleting the "DefaultVolumeProfile" file from the Project)
Enter Play Mode
Observe the Console

Actual results: Many "SerializedObjectNotCreatableException: Object at index 0 is null" errors are thrown at the start

Expected results: No errors are thrown, or a warning is thrown

Reproducible with versions: 6000.0.0f1, 6000.0.73f1, 6000.3.14f1, 6000.4.4f1, 6000.5.0b5, 6000.6.0a3

Can’t test with versions: 2023.3.0a19 (No Volume Profile reference in Project Settings)

Tested on (OS): Windows 11 Pro (25H2)

Notes:

Even when switched to another Volume Profile after reproduction, the errors are still thrown
Even if the reference is added afterward, it will not fix the issue
Restarting the Editor fixes the issue until reproduced again
