systemd timers are simply not a fully functional replacement of cron yet. Even if they were, to achieve full user acceptance, some sort of "compatibility UI" similar to systemd's sysvinit support might be in order [*]. Creating new timer units in $HOME/.config/systemd/user is just not as user-friendly as "crontab -e"
And, this just came to my mind now -- it will be plain wrong for some scenarios besides the "home notebook user" -- which obviosuly is the only target the sytemd developers are thinking of. Just imagine: one user several machines different cron jobs on those machines shared $HOME.
