Can’t you set this up as a cronjob?

Systemd does everything including cron functionality. Timers are the Systemd equivalent of lines in /etc/crontab. Arch doesn't even have a cron application pre-installed. (But does have Systemd.) So in short, timers are kindof the idiomatic way to run things on a schedule in Arch.
