Because someone who installs Emacs does not (in general) do that with the
specific intention of using calendar mode or diary mode, whereas someone
who installs org-mode does it with the specific intention of using
org-mode?
That being said, I would not object if Emacs decided to give a global
binding to some of the built-in apps (calendar, calc, gnus, diary, ...).

That would be possible, but there are not many free letters there, and if
org-mode did this it would take the risk to have the chosen key reclaimed
by Emacs for another purpose at any time.
