Yes, I agree. I will work anyone who calls me, whether I'm in a contest
or not. Recently, I had someone call me on the came band and mode
several times within a week. No problem. I worked him every time.
Incidentally, I hadn't been calling CQ. He called me after I worked
someone else.

I have seen the same thing both in contesting and in day to day operating. Given that a
FT8/FT4 QSO is going to last a minute or less, and logging is electronic, I have never understood
this reasoning behind setting up the program to not see or avoid stations you have worked
before? Is a dupe that big of a deal? The other station might be running a contest, as
you point out, or need your country for a DX Marathon point for that year. I have worked
stations numerous times on the same band with FT8 and don't see what the big deal is.
