Everything in my Google Calendar is already out there somewhere. Nothing private is in it.
All I'm doing is making all of that data useful to me. It's not anything that isn't already available to someone or everyone.
I compartmentalise public and private, but don't consider things that create metadata elsewhere on the internet to be private. Anything public, is in my calendar.

Time is hard.
Places are hard.
Being able to describe an event that is "Flight BA0285 from LHR to SFO" involves a single event over a duration of time, that crosses time zones, and maybe daylight savings, whilst changing places. And further knowing that BA0285 is a flight number and then informing you of delays.
This stuff is way harder than it initially looks, and makes me really appreciate just how right Google got this.
