Calendar not syncing between two iPhones with the same AppleID

I recently got a iPhone 13 Max Pro and I was migrating from my old iPhone 7. Initially most of the data transferred, and the calendars were the same. However, any new entries on the 7 don't appear on the 13, and vice versa. All the old data is there but new calendar events don't appear on the other phone. I've been through all the steps that are suggested on the help pages. Same Apple ID. Restarted the apps and restarted both phones. Changed the frequency of sync as suggested, quit and restarted the app on both phones, rebooted a few times, did all the suggestions, but they NEVER sync. Also, my 2013 MacBook pro quit syncing the calendar with the phones about 9 months ago for reasons I don't understand.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 17

Calendars sync to email accounts, so you must have Calendars enabled for your email accounts in Settings/Mail/Accounts or Settings/Calendar/Accounts.

Calendars are enabled on email accounts, and calendar settings, but it still does not sync between phones (and quit syncing to my MacBook pro a long time ago). Everything else related to Apple ID sycs fine (reminders, notes, etc.). My frustration level is rather high. If I have the same Apple ID on all the devices, competent software programming should allow my calendars to sync without all these unnecessary headaches. I really can't understand why Apple isn't competent enough to address this problem. This is inexcusable.

At a minimum, it should provide some feedback while using the apps with clear indications of why two or three devices using the same Apple ID don't sync. After following the steps on the Apple help pages precisely, and the problem persisting, I have no way of knowing where the problem is. I think the evidence is pretty overwhelming that this situation should not exist, and if there is some simple solution, that should be included in the Apple support pages, instead of providing no information to correct this defect.
