Feels like that’s either a luxury for rich people or one tiny benefit for people with lower demand jobs who are done with the job when they leave the office
what do you mean by “lower demand jobs who are done with the job when they leave the office”?
Seems like you’re making a lot of assumptions. I’m in sales. I make money by being responsive, and having a smartphone gives me tools to use wherever I am instead of having to always going to a computer or tablet like the article describes

Like a job where they don’t expect to be able to reach you outside of office hours
If a company requires you to always be available, that’s a huge red flag, honestly.
If u want to reach me outside of office hours i will be getting paid for all the time u want me to be listening otherwise u will be ignored.
To be honest I do get paid a lot more for this type of job than one where I’m strictly available 9-5.
They do.
You’re not getting full time salary, but you’re getting paid a hell of a lot more than the 1% of the time you’re actually needed.
where i live, “they” can’t expect you to be reachable outside of office hours. “lower demand” or whatever a “higher demand” job may be.
when the limits are clearly defined by law, employers can’t abuse people like you who seem to have weaker positions

Like on-call duty ? It is to the company to provide you a phone then.
Well it’s not the cost of the phone we’re talking about, the article is about having some carefree phone free lifestyle
