Reading /etc/fstab wouldn't work for the initial install. All these
possibilities require a substantial amount of (voluntary) work, yet so
far the only reason you've given for it was that you "don't like how
cygwin works with NTFS permissions and therefore it is disabled
through /etc/fstab". It shouldn't surprise you that that doesn't put
it high on anyone's list of priorities.

So why do you care about permissions on files that come with setup.exe
packages? Setup.exe won't touch /home or anything outside the Cygwin
install.
