I agree. I can think of numerous uses for a flexible calendar for recurring events, like appointments as reminders when certain bills are paid each month, like if it is on the 6th of the month. Or, perhaps for monthly meetings that are on the second Saturday of the month. In the past, I also used these kinds of appointments for when daylight savings time started and ended in the US. In short, having these recurring options in the calendar rather in an app is so much more convenient. The only places where I have seen these scheduling options in the past have been the Microsoft Outlook calendar, or calendar for specific blindness notetakers, like the BrailleNote, PacMate, or others. Another example would be a class that I was teaching from Monday to Friday at a certain time. I have tried to set this as a recurring appointment in the iOS calendar, but have ended up having to go in and delete the weekend occurrances. While doable, it is time consuming and not a perfect solution.
