I don't mind being on call at my current place. I'm an app owner so I absolutely am the right person to call if things really get out of control. (So I don't even mind being in the escalation list if I'm NOT on call).
What I cannot stand is when folks insist on not tagging errors that they have no intention (or no timeline) on fixing. If you have no plan to fix something, stop waking me up at 3am for an alert. At a former job, I used to put this out to my superiors constantly. "Please tag this alert, get a ticket into our backlog so we can prioritize a fix". Alerts should be for exceptional situations. We've allowed services like New Relic to convince us that Appdex scores always translate to losing money.
