I agree that it doesn't make sense in principle, but it's also annoying
to have to add special hooks for special buffers and since the calendar
is generated, why not fix it there?

For all files that I use in emacs setting show-trailing-whitespace
globally makes sense (but that might just be me). The only buffer that
shows extra white space in my setting is the calendar, so I thought I
bring it up.
