I think you've already heard the confirmation if your suspicion. But perhaps I can introduce another perspective. Just because you are on-call doesn't mean you go on-call.
I was on-call for a year as part of a rotation. The rotation had 7 ppl, so basically 1wk every 2 months. During that time I didn't receive a single page. This is because I picked a team with low on-call load. Perhaps you can introduce this as a filtering criteria?
There are still jobs that don't have mandatory on-call, but definitely seems to be a shrinking pie. You can blamed devops for that! (joking)
