Why are calendars all so shitty? (self.privacy)

I've been working on my privacy setup and breaking away from Proton. There are a bunch of email providers I looked at, same with email aliases, password managers, etc.

But I don't understand the state of calendars. It feels like they're always shoved into email services, and they're all so crappy looking.

I was able to find one or two Android apps that are open source, and they look like they're 20 years old.

Proton Calendar, for all its faults, looks really good.

Why, in 2025, is there no simple calendar as a service with nothing else included? And why do the UIs all look like complete trash?

I don't get it. Can't one of us hire an intern to take a week to learn a CSS framework and create a decent calendar UI? Am I missing something?

I've always thought the Tuta calendar looked kinda spiffy. Been thinking about giving it a shot to compliment my Proton setup. (Eggs in one basket and all that)
