Maybe because Thor (and Woden/Odin) predate Superman, Magneto, Tarzan, Wonder Woman, Mr. Fantastic and Spider-Man centuries upon centuries according to Scandinavian mythology (upon which Stan Lee based his Marvel Comics of his “Thor” works).
Actually, Tiwsday, Wodensday, Thorsday, and Freyasday are just translations of Marsday, Mercuryday, Jupiterday, and Venusday. Saturnday was left untranslated because the Germans had no god corresponding to Saturn.

When superheroes come to save the day, are they allowed to save each other’s days?

BTW, interesting that Superman is Sunday seeing as he can be seen as a Messianic character.
