Seems the correct etiquette these days is to arrange a call days in advance at a time that will be mutually convenient. My younger self would never have believed this would be the case yet here we are?

The prevalence of messaging probably has a lot to do with it. "We still on for tomorrow night?" works fine as just a text. "Have time to chat on phone later?" seems to work pretty well too.
In any case, the goalposts for calling someone out of the blue have moved for a lot of people.

It used to be the only time you could make a call when someone was at work or at home.
Now you can call them literally 24/7 no matter where they are in the world. There is no recluse.
Interrupting people in the middle of what they're doing whenever, wherever is quite rude and fixing that etiquette is a GOOD thing.
