I struggle to understand what all the fuss is about.
Exodus 20, 8-10:
8 Remember the Sabbath day, maintaining its holiness. 9 Six days you are to labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You are not to do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your livestock, nor any foreigner who lives among you.
That is quite clear. Work six days. Honor the seventh day. What does it matter what day that is? A nurse might be scheduled to work on weekends. She honors the Sabbath on her first day off.
Another person has every Wednesday free. No work, no commitments. He chooses to honor the Sabbath on that day.
Or these people any less obedient than someone who is fixed on a Saturday or a Sunday?
So ... If Someone worships on Friday (5th day) around noon, does he honor the fish or the birds? (\sarc)
(I agree with you, a day is a day is a day)
, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You are not to do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your livestock, nor any foreigner who lives among you.

I’ll go a little wild. A day is as a thousand years.
If creation was 6000 years ago, we are in the 7000th year.
Or, the Sabbath, being 1000 years long.
In Christ, we are to enter God’s rest, not doing any work.
In Christ, we can do not work to earn our salvation.
We are to rest, in Christ. All the time during the ‘7th day’.
Every day, here in Earth, is the Sabbath.
——>That is quite clear. Work six days. Honor the seventh day. What does it matter what day that is? A nurse might be scheduled to work on weekends. She honors the Sabbath on her first day off.
Nope, it’s a very specific day....THE 7th-day-Sabbath, which commemorates creation and the Creator. BTW, I’m a nurse, and I “work” on the Sabbath, caring for the sick. (lawful to do good on the Sabbath).
