My wife and I have phones where we keep our shared calendars, yes. But we have four kids who also have their own lives and schedules, and they often want to know what's going on, what our plans are, etc. They would value being able to see the day's upcoming events, too; when the play dates are, when the dentist appointments are, when the days off of school are, what we're eating for dinner, all of that. Currently, their only access to that information is through our phones.

Having a screen in the kitchen that only shows calendars and a couple of other pieces of data would be useful. We wouldn't want to be able to watch videos or browse websites on it, though.
