You need a Google Account to use Google Calendar.

Anyone can have an Apple Account whether or not they own an Apple Device.

In this case, too, you can create Invites on icloud.com on non-Apple devices. Including the webpage seems nicely responsive and can probably make them in an Android Chrome tab if you wanted.

The only remaining obstacle is that it isn't a free feature of an Apple Account, but requires an iCloud+ subscription. But that's useful for Apple Music and Apple TV+ and other products, too, many of which work just fine on non-Apple devices as well.

Fair points.

Google account is still free while iCloud+ subscription is not.

That's a big difference.
