I'm sure I complained about it before or saw someone complain about it but why does samsung suffer from battery drain while VoLTE is active.

It's not a signal issue because I can feel the signal of the tower that is how close it is to me. Samsung S8 had the issue and S10 has it too. Phone stays warm the whole day and minimal usage sees battery on 20% from 6:30 am to 13:30 with basically 30min screen time.

When I charge it it gets hot as like it's still draining.

Today I switched to 3G only mode and problem solved. Charges faster. Doesn't get hot and no drain.
 
VoLTE heats my Nokia1 too. It runs cooler when I'm using wi fi here. Battery drain also less on wi fi. I'm on Pie latest update.
