I have confirmed that for sending incoming phone calls straight to voice mail by pressing the side power button twice, make sure that Settings, Accessibility, Touch, Prevent lock to end call is turned off. I had it turned on which kept the double press from sending calls to voice mail.
Thanks to all who replied.

I'm on an iPhone 15 Pro, running the latest build of iOS 18, and here at least, calls are going to voice mail with a double press of the side button. A single press still results in the phone continuing to ring on the caller's end.

This has not been working on my iPhone 16e running iOS 18.7 and I’m not sure if it has ever worked on this iPhone since I’ve only had it since late May. I would appreciate replies from others whether pressing the side power button sends incoming phone calls directly to your voice mail. Please include with your reply your device type and its iOS version. I’ve already reported this to Apple Accessibility and now I’m looking for the experience of other users.
