I'm well aware of how phones handle speech recognition; there are reasons they do so via services that have little to do with the computational difficulty of speech recognition. It's not by any means necessary to upload raw voice data to a server and process it there, especially if we're talking about full computers rather than just phones.

I said "local", not "offline". Though in any case, you should likely have a locally synced cache of your calendar for efficiency and the ability to read it offline. Web apps are quite capable of working while offline.

Worth mentioning: Windows 10 is not just for "full computers."

I'm aware, but the line is becoming increasingly blurred, and there's enough power on even the average phone to do speech recognition.
