To ensure you can reach the person at a time when they are available. If you call unannounced and they don't/can't pick up, you're not allowed to get upset.

Agreed, although I would expect a person applying for a job to be reasonably responsive. I personally would try few times and perhaps send an email saying I tried to ring. But to expect phone call to be "scheduled" is just daft - phone call is the quickest method of contact.

No, you can't expect someone to be responsive at any random time out of the blue. Every phone interview I've had was first scheduled via text or email.
