I could be wrong, but pretty sure CDC only went to a 5-day quarantine when the economy really couldn't bear the weight of longer quarantine periods on a mass scale anymore. I think it was 10 days prior to that change. But again, I could be misremembering.

You’re right it was a medical decision on the benefit of additional time from a medical outcome standpoint. The percentage of people capable of still spreading the virus at day 6 is not statistically significantly more than at day 11, given the added burden on the patient.
