One thing that needs mentioning is that if the Lightning developers had 
made it easier to set up lightning with a Google CalDAV calendar, then 
Google would have many more users and would thus have been much less 
likely to abandon CalDAV. so I put part of the blame on the Lightning 
developers.

See bug 467153: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467153

BTW: The Apple Calendar program already does this.

I've always dreaded the idea of needing an add-on for an add-on. Plus, 
the add-on for the add-on only uses iCal, which is like using POP3 when 
you could be using IMAP.
