People would hate having their birthdays always on the same day, imagine if it was always a Tuesday. Never a weekend.
Sure, celebrations can still be held on weekends, but it’s just not the same. And Fri 13th would die away.

Heck it's not even weird to not bother with this redefinition and just have a party on a more convenient day.
(My birthday falls on a national holiday where I live, though, so in practice I've never had to worry about school or work on my birthday.)
What's so frustrating to me is when I realize that, for example, public holiday falls on the weekend (I know this is solved by some countries by moving the holiday to Monday or Friday). Last year, 24th of Dec was a Saturday, pretty much the worst time for Christmas.
I guess we don't need to move them because we have plenty anyway, compared to the few ones the Americans have.
