In some places they even push the expectation of being accessible immediately at any time ("being on call"), and it’s not paid hours. Crazy times we live in.

I've never been paid extra for 'on call', always been salaried and had it added as an expectation after the fact.

I'll admit I've quit over it.

I am an underpaid (for my area, experience, title, coworkers, etc) software developer who has occasional on call shifts and once a year holiday shifts with no extra pay or benefits

Management is never paid for being on call in my experience. It's just expected that you can be called any time for any reason.
