I have to join the choir, what do you mean dying and doesn't work? If proprietary apps don't support it, it's just because it's one of the best ways to lock people in.
I could follow it a bit. CalDAV is mostly nerd stuff. And proprietary apps use to disallow CalDav to sell their own stuff. Best example: M$ Outlook doesn't support CalDAV natively. You can only add them as only read, or use third party addons. And why? Because they want you to buy 365.
Look at it as the average Bob: wow you can sync all your contacts and Calenders and Tasks to every device? That must be expensive!
It’s more than the “proprietary apps”. It’s harder than it should be to simply sync calendar and tasks. The one that seems to work the most effectively is Nextcloud. By now there should be straightforward, easy to use (to host) solitions that just work.
