Do the same people go to weekday morning Mass every day?

No, weekday does not fulfill your obligation, but I have gone on a weekday when I have missed Sunday mass...because it's something. The Saturday vigil mass fulfills your Sunday obligation - not the Saturday morning mass.

Hand to God I did not know this!

Wait till you learn about Holy Days of Obligation!

At our Church there's a fairly sizable group of retired/senior citizens who go daily.
There are also groups that go (Legion of Mary, Widow/Widowers' Group, Moms' Group, AM Bible Study, etc) that go to Mass first then meet up afterwards.

Interesting. Thanks. I didn't know that. Can you elaborate on why that is?

Are you not Catholic?

I am. When we were supposed to learn a weekday Mass isn’t a substitute for missing Sunday Mass? Maybe it’s one of those goes without saying things most people just know. I don’t know. There’s also a Saturday afternoon Mass, which I believe is a permissible substitute for Sunday Mass.

This is taught in Religious Ed.

Also, you should have been taught why vigil Masses count.

Here's what Catholic Answers has to say about the Sunday obligation: https://www.catholic.com/qa/why-does-the-church-impose-a-sunday-mass-obligation

Family of five. We each try to attend Mass at least three times per week:

We go every Friday morning at 6:30 am as a family.

We go Saturday vigil/Sunday as a family.

Everybody finds a third Mass during the week, although kids hit that goal the easiest.

We see the same people at Friday morning Mass every time.

Not at all.
