I have difficulty to understand why this is not reverted when

You appear to have a model for IETF meeting scheduling that does not
match its long history. The model the IETF has *always* used is that
the meeting is all week and it presumes that attendees are present all
week.
That this model is problematic for many people has been clear for many
years. However changing the model is quite a major bit of work, and
would go deeply into the IETF cultural view of the nature of the
meeting.
IETF participation is very different today, than it was 15 years ago.
So it is fine and reasonable to suggest considering a new model, but
this should be pursued as constructive adaptation to changing needs,
rather than as a complaint about a particular decision.
