I would be almost certain there is more to this than that article lets on.
I work for an international energy company, if we were spilling gallons of product in France, they aren't just going to go "well you can't email anyone, so get back to us on Monday."
Same for the French attorneys I know who grind out weekends pretty often.

I would imagine that is for people with the time scheduled off, I'm sure there are people scheduled to work weekends and/or on call for situations like that, my company would play hell trying to get me when I'm off duty, unless of course it's of some benefit to me

Yeah, this is included in the article.

Under the new law, companies are mandated to negotiate formal policies to limit the spillover of work, specifically as it’s related to “digital technology,” into the private lives of employees. This, according to the BBC, will involve companies establishing “charters of good conduct” specifying hours, typically in the evenings and weekends, when employees aren’t supposed to send or receive email.
So it sounds like it's up to the companies to establish what their own practices will be, but I'm not sure how this is any different than what already exists (organizational culture) but just formalized as a policy.

Probably designed to protect workers from negative consequences if they want to disconnect after work hours.
