I can think of reasons why not to have MLO use only it's own calendar. First, I did think this was the best way to make it well integrated, but as I learned how the team is spread thin, they had to get another team for the Android part (the main focus is Microsoft Windows)... So I don't think there's enough resource right now to make all the features of a calendar that people will want. Further more, I want a special One Page Calendar format that nobody else will make commercially. It is meant to show the entire year but not having to write every month (just looks like one month). https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/one-page-calendar/
What I'm getting at: I'd like to see focus on open standards for syncronizing calendar data, then we can have the one we like and not have quality of the calendar views dilluted by not being able to keep improving them. Let someone else focus on Calendar application so that both can be really impressive, then master the art of making both work together without some giant company controlling what we can do and harvesting our data for their own gain.
