My experience was similar in my last long-term software role. We were not explicitly on call, but we developed/deployed/supported an app which was critical to a 24×7×365 business process. So we were careful in our testing, code reviews, and deployments.
One time in 7 years I had to answer an out of hours call because of an issue in this app.
I'll take that over semimonthly on-call rotas for suites of apps my team isn't isn't responsible for.
