In addition to the proprietary/free issue, duplicating content is awful from a maintenance perspective. As far as I know, there's no automatic sync in place, so the wiki and Google are inevitably going to fall out of sync. There are other reasons to keep the information centralized, but until the wiki can support XML and iCal output, the benefit of using Google outweighs the cost.
Just to address this: the people duplicating the content are folks like myself, Oliver, Philippe and Lydia who have to schedule office hours and make sure they get into someone's calendar anyway. Using a shared calendar (rather than putting them in the attendee's individual calendar alone) is actually much more efficient on our end.
