I wonder whether Apple has actually tested the Calendar app at all – it’s so full of bugs.

Confirmed. iCloud and EAS synced calendar accounts.
Show As does however work still with Google synced calendars in the native Calendar App

This is a huge issue. It’s a problem for synced exchange accounts I guess? It’s really a colossal fail when an update results in a loss of a feature for an account type that is mainly used by businesses and professionals when you have just rolled it out for iCloud personal calendars. This needs to be fixed immediately. I cannot believe they didn’t test this.

Heard! Apple, if you are paying attention. This is completely unacceptable. It messes up everything about being able to use your calendar. Creates a lot of extra work for me in making sure my work calendar is free when it needs to be.
