Habits are different from tasks. It is "suggested" that you do them
within a range of time, but it's not completion which is important,
rather consistency over the long-run. Hence the graph to indicate your
overall progress on the goal of being consistent.
But isn't consistency in the long-run the fact that you have actually *completed* them?
So, the thing here is the concept of habit. So, from what I could understand, a habit has to happen during a period of time and have a deadline.
In this case, IMO, a weekly review is a habit, even though it does not happen daily, it still has consistent period to be respected (1 day, every seven days), and a deadline (the very same day). Or habits need to be daily?
Thanks!

How could I define it so I can have a habit that happens weekly but that has a hard deadline of that very same weekday it has been specified to?
In this case you would use an ordinary task with a ++1w repeater. Are you wanting to use habits just for the graph?

A weekly review, on the other hand, is something that you really should do every week, and if you miss it doesn't matter how well you've been doing in the past, a single missed week could throw you off considerably.
