Usually, that's a full-time job, i.e not compensated hourly.

Alternatively, if you're not paid...I haven't heard of an employer only compensating for typing into Jira but not dragging tickets.

Is there another analogy familiar to us, where we're blocked on waiting for an employer to find us work, and we're not paid during it?

This is the subject being discussed. Appealing to current labor conventions doesn't make any sense when talking about the problems with current labor conventions. You might as well say that tipped employees shouldn't be paid minimum wage because the rules for tipped employment allow you to pay them less than minimum wage.

When I worked at Macy's I was still paid when I was not helping a customer or managing stock. I was also paid for simply being there if I were needed.
