Ok so while I agree with you, the solution for cronjobs is not super sexy, there is one https://github.com/firebase/functions-cron, and it's using appengine to make the cron-job calls to a pub/sub subscribe function.
I know, not sexy, but works :) (also, yeah, I agree 100% with everything else you pointed out, and it's very disappointing!)
