Take this on-call rotation and shove it
Yes, basically every eng position paying what HN people expect will have the exact sort of described oncall.

I worked on OS frameworks at a FAANG and there was no on-call for anyone on the team.

The users of your flawless frameworks absorbed all on-call load.

There really is no point in on-call when writing client-side software.

I have yet to be on an oncall that is similar to what was described there, and I get paid pretty well. It's very much a function of where you work and what you work on.
