So in your example, you set the temperature for 6 days of the week to

Actually, now that you mention it, some of the moderate-priced items
have a mode that holds a particular temperature for some number of days
and then goes back to th regular program.

Again, that's nice if you know that you'll be returning
in X days. Which is an entirely different situation then
when you go on trips of varying duration and don't know
exactly how long they will be. Or have that vacation home
that you might go back to in 1 week or maybe not for 3 weeks.
Everyone does not live like you do and some of us are
willing to pay a little more for convenience.
