At least systemctl status tells you when next the timer will trigger. Cron doesn't.

Actually it does, have a look at cronnext

First time I hear about it. And it's not surprising, because it's not in cron. It's in cronie, and was "only" added in 2016.

Was not aware that vixie cron was first released 1987(https://github.com/vixie/cron/blob/master/Documentation/Chan... 1.md), and still has fresh commits.
