Did you consider that maybe setting Friday up for everyone was to allow everyone who wanted to participate to work together without scheduling challenges or conflicts with their hired roles/team obligations?

This is like saying a Hackathon is devaluing creativity because it occurs at a scheduled time...

I get your point, but without paragraphs of explanation, I doubt I could persuade you. I can say this... It was meant as a solitary exercise, not as a group.

Bu then, if everyone stops to work alone at different times, you have a problem scheduling work things... I.e: if you want to take Tuesday afternoon to do your things, but then they need you for meetings/work on something else.
