I think one of the purposes of a Linux distribution is to pull together a collection of disparate software of their choosing and make default decisions for their users. I find it hard to believe that you bother to delve into the behaviour of your system in most other ways, but suddenly you've become aware of a systemd timer and now it's a problem for you. None of this is hidden. You've been able to read this script and work out how it works. Do you also build your own kernels so you can personally sign off on every kernel config choice, or do you trust the Debian kernel team's ideas about what should be built in, modularised or not available at all? For me it's a problem when things can't be customised. I expect default choices to be made but I don't expect to agree with 100% of them. That's OK.
