It’s more than just power state, you can also toggle based on the state of other units (which you could chain normally too, but not time based) so you could start a service 10 minutes after another service has ran to completion, or after it’s died, etc.
This is the only case in which I use timers, really, when I want something to run on startup, every once in a while, but only after it’s confirmed that the internet is up.
