In practice, I run `systemctl list-timers` to see all the timers that exist. That could be implemented with timers in a section of the unit file as well. But by being a separate file, you can have package that installs the unit and another that installs the timer. You can use symlinks to enable the timer and delete the symlink to remove the timer.
