It's perfectly legitimate to use a device only for some minutes every time it's powered on. And it's probably not that uncommon for such devices that they are used at a regular time, e.g. after work or something like that. This time frame might contain a xx:00 or not. As anacron performs jobs like backups and installing security updates, it's unacceptable, that it's pure luck (from a user's point of view) whether anacron runs or not. Thus, either a resume hook or changing anacron from a one-shot program to a daemon is needed. When using init.d the decision was to use a hook, so it would probably make sense to do the same with systemd.
