How would it know which one to turn off if you had multiple things on? Timer could just as easily be for add the next ingredient as it could be for stop cooking.

I'm really confused why "turn off my stove" would be the presumed functionality. Someone must've lied to them because no stoves do that. Otherwise, why would they suddenly assume that's what a timer was doing?
