Software developer here, also doing development support work at times. Still, in the last 20 years it never happened that I got a call from work, despite emergencies being pretty common. As it should be, in countries with strong employee rights.
As for how common it is? dunno, but there was a very funny (sad?) music video that hints that this is fairly widespread phenomena, for young office workers. Quarter Life Poetry, “Circle Back”. One of the final scenes is the narrator being unable to get away from the grind even at home.
