Huh? Can't believe you're serious about this. I couldn't disagree more.

I suppose the reason is a different one: every Google Calendar user who 
uses it through anything other than the Google web interface means lower 
ad revenues. Although they claim not to be evil that is against their 
own interest.

Personally, I prefer the exact opposite. Separating content from user 
agent is vital in order to choose the user agent that suits you best*. 
That's what standardized APIs are for.

Cheers,
