After five years as open source champions, Cal.com is going closed source. This wasn’t an easy decision, but in the age of AI-driven security threats, protecting customer data has to come first. Cal.diy will continue as an open option for hobbyists.

They do give a clue as to a reason/excuse why not in the article:

Each [AI security] platform surfaces different vulnerabilities, making it difficult to establish a single, reliable source of truth for what is actually secure.

Also, they come up with so many false positives that it's a huge job to check over the reports for something usable.

That's literally just pen testing, though. You search through tons of holes just to find the tunnel you were going down was blocked and not an issue.
