That convenience has to be let go when working on operations-critical services. This feature is an absolute necessity in a lot of cases, and of course employees can complain, but not resolving certain issues urgently can mean that an entire hospital's system stays inaccessible overnight, or worse.

Missed the point. If that operation is so critical, give me a workplace owned device to deal with it. My employer is not getting superuser access to my personal devices.

they do not need super-user permissions. That would imply that the phone has to be rooted. over-coming certain settings that apply to regular apps? sure. but that's a very android/iOS specific feature-set that is exposed to all app developers.

They need superuser on Android? On iOS I just give permission for an app to send critical alerts. It's a hard requirement for apps like PagerDuty.

They do not need superuser, they can just request the permission to bypass DND. I believe apps can't tell if you gave them the permission or not, so there is no way to "force" users into this.
