This is exactly what happens, just like the old XKCD: Now there are N+1 competing standards.

It's why I have to check /etc/profile, ~/.profile, /etc/profile.d/*, ~/.bashrc (or whatever shell), /etc/environment, ~/.env, and a few others I don't even remember to figure out why an $ENVVAR is set.

I have to look at two cron-like things to figure out what's scheduled when. systemd-timers has been around and in use for a long while.
