Why can’t banks make transfers and payments on the weekend when everything is digital and automated?

At least where I live, if I make a transfer between my accounts (with different banks) too late on a Friday, the money won’t be available until Monday. But there are no humans involved in this process – it seems to me that could be instantaneous as far as the technology is concerned. What am I missing?

UK and never heard of this. I can send or receive money any time of day or night and it’ll take a few seconds to clear. I think the longest was 15 mins at like 2am.
