I would amend this to "If they want to cancel it every time, that's fine".
I personally think its best to keep 1-1 availability as consistent as possible. Always be available to spend the time and avoid last minute changes to the meeting. The time is an opportunity for the direct report as well. If they want to cancel, that is fine. Same with whether they want to use the whole slot or only 5 minutes. Cancellations and changes from the manager side may throw plans askew since reports might be hanging onto something to unleash during the time.

Personally, I try to never cancel, but if my report wants to cancel, we'll it's their meeting and I get half an hour back :).
