Usually such things have a simple explanation. systemd does a lot with time and date, for example scheduling tasks. It's quite obvious that it has this capabilities, when you think about it.

I thought the same, but didn't we already have things like chron syntax for this? Systemd didn't have to build its own library.

Can you tell Cron to catch up on the things that should've happened but didn't because the system was off?

I think fcron and anacron can do that
