Definitely an issue but I think there's a little room for push back. Work done outside normal working hours is automatically the highest priority, by definition. It's helpful to remind people of that.

If it's important enough to deserve a page, it's top priority work. The reverse is also true (if a page isn't top priority, disable the paging alert and stick it on a dashboard or periodic checklist)

You're right, but it's still outrageous that engineers need to burn political capital in order to have proper sleep and avoid burnout.
Agreed.
