Why would that be the case? Shouldn't it be more common to find deployments happening early Monday morning? It's common practice to avoid potentially bug-inducing changes right before the weekend hits

If you’re trying to minimize impact to employees you deploy Monday or Tuesday morning.

If you’re trying to minimize impact to business customers you deploy Friday night.

Yea exactly , Tuesdays are the ideal days to ship features, this has always been the case everywhere I've worked. Deployments on Friday is just asking for pain and Mondays are often too chaotic for a release..

Because they likely get a large number of users doing git pull first thing Monday morning.
