They haven't announced heavy restrictions on access to calendars. Anyone can still write a client to access Google Calendars. They just need to use Google's calendar api instead of caldav. The method of access has changed but not the level of access.

Forcing the use of a proprietary service specific api when they have a working implementation of a standards based protocol to do the same thing, is a heavy restriction.
