You seem to be selfishly focusing only on the benefit to you. You are (or should be) part of a team. Even with your low 1-2 times a week, with 5 person team that is 5-10/wk. In otherwords every single day.
"Selfish" is the wrong word, and to me assumes a certain troubling kind of bad faith. People respond to incentives. If the performance of a team is not the primary evaluative factor for a developer (and it often isn't), then it makes no sense for somebody to focus on anything else. A developer must be incentivized to view those five to ten times a week as a plus to the point of not finding it worth complaining about.
