The problem is that your calendar is probably tied to your work email which is tied to your company's Active Directory and the company definitely wants to be able to revoke your access. Email and calendar clients hardly even try to present a single view of contacts, events, and messages from distinct sources in a privacy preserving way. When they do support merging views, it seems like it's way too easy to send an invite to the wrong calendar or schedule over the top of busy block that just happens to be on a different calendar. The entire idea of multiple calendars is a poor abstraction. People (you, me) have upcoming events that they care about; other people want to schedule events that don't conflict. Some events are public, some are private, and some are so private that they are transparent and nonblocking. Somehow we made it way harder than it needed to be.
