I wish someone would investigate what a 6 day week would look like(4 work, 2 off). This article was always a fun exercise what if scenario and if world wide agreement could come to be, would be an innovation on par with the 40 hour work week. https://calendars.fandom.com/wiki/6-Day_Week_Solar_Calendar_...

This is one of those things that would not work as soon as there's a significant number of people not doing it. It's just not practical. Doing something in the existing 7 day structure is much easier.
Religious people would object violently.
Saturday is already off and Christians don't seem to complain too much
They still get Sunday though. With a 6-day week period, the Christian holy day (along with Muslim and Jewish holy days) would often clash with a work day.
