It’s the Front end buddy
What do people that start the week on sunday call the “weekend”? For them only Saturday is the weekend and Sunday is the weekstart or what?

Σαββατοκύριακο. Saturday and Sunday. It would be far weirder to start the week on Δευτέρα which literally meaning “second”.
Of course in English and other languages Monday does not mean second. Still for Mose western (plus Arabs) Monday has been second after Sunday. Long before Saturday was a day off.
ISO defining the start of the week as Monday due to it being the first business day (lol) has comparatively little impact.

Weekend like bookend, both sides.

Ah yes, Weekends are like bookends. I like your analogy.
If these nonces up there can understand that there’s no such thing as a “bookstart,” they can begin to understand the concept of weekends holding the week together from opposite ends.
