INTCK counts the number of boundaries crossed.  It does not count May 1, in your example.  The first "crossing" is the boundary from May 1 to May 2.

Look at this little test:

 

50   data _null_;
51   fromDate = '01May2019'd;
52   do toDate = fromDate to '18May2019'd;
53       weekdays=intck('Weekday', fromDate, toDate);
54       put fromDate downame. +1  fromDate yymmdd10. +1
55           toDate downame. +1    toDate yymmdd10. +1
56           weekDays;
57       end;
58   run;
