Only if the team wants to work weekends?

If something goes down on Saturday there’s a good chance I’m out of cell service

It is interesting to see this bifurcation in action.

Hey software engineers - you know that working weekends is unusual, right? Like... please tell me someone has at least negotiated your right to only work 5 days a week so if you're working a weekend you get Monday and Tuesday off.

If not... Has anyone told y'all you should unionize?

I mean, you make it sound like releases fail often. For our team I think we have only seen one failure in the last two years needing a fix after hours (going into the weekend)?

The other option is to fail during the workweek. If the software is directly generating money for the users and the developers are judged on what actual business value they provide then failure during business hours is worse.
