>Why is the assumption that someone working 3-4 days a week can't take on a large project or won't be dedicated?

This is because those huge projects tend to require a high degree of coordination and planning, and that means the people involved need to be available to the rest of the team. And if they're not available, they aren't involved.

This is a starkly false dichotomy. Less that 40 hours a week does not mean "not available".
It may be true for "less than 40 hours", but 3-4 days a week literally means they are not available 1-2 days a week, right?
In my above post, I mentioned an idea where they work for an hour on those 1-2 days, focusing on communication/team stuff.
makes sense!
