There's an entire other 40 hours between 6 and 10, plus the weekend.

Anyone of any skill of any appreciable amount working a 9-5 has plenty of off hours to build their thing.

My question is: who are the people who could be successful with Friday off that can't be successfull with Saturday, Sunday, and after work? My bet is you're talking about serving a null set.

It's a good point. Time is clearly not the only obstacle for mid-career people who want to make a startup.
