Err, not sure what you're talking about here. Most email systems already support sharing on a per-folder (or *mailbox* as they're called in IMAP and JMAP) granularity. That's why JMAP and IMAP can return you a "myRights" object with your permissions for each mailbox. Calendars are identical; you generally share on a per-calendar basis (which acts the same as a mailbox for mail; a collection of individual data items).
