When I observed this behaviour I had no network either. No matter the
priority on sync, with no network and no UI open on the ubuntu one
shares its hard to justify 5% of wakeups from the syncdaemon.

I agree that there may be a need to let people choose what they want;
however I think it would be nicer to just choose good defaults before
worrying about customisation.
