It is _commonly_ linked to vim, but that really only because most of the
distros you've worked with have full version of vim installed by default.
Cygwin offers vim (full) and vim-minimal packages.
If you intend to use full one, I suggest you remove vim-minimal and make a
familiar symlink for vi.
You can find more details, and the reason behind the change, in the list
archives for this year.

That is to be expected.
