Ime, once the tank is cycled you can add a fish at least every 2 weeks to let the bacteria catch up to the bioload. That's not letting a tank sit empty for a year.
I think part of the issue is certain products, like Biospira and other bottled bacteria, say you can add your fish immediately if you use this product. I think people take that as you can dump in this liquid and fully stock your tank right away without waiting for a cycle to happen.
But I have no idea who waits a year with one fish and a snail.
