Cron is not only for particular times, its also for recurring events. It certainly does make sense if you simply set your task to check what time it is before executing. Then you just "try" to run it every minute (or every page load), and it will fire only at the appropriate time. This makes a lot of sense for something like triggered notifications which don't happen until X days after X event, and aren't at any particular time, but instead are relative time.
