Probably because there's a well-maintained native port of MySQL, so 
there's less incentive for someone to volunteer to be an official 
maintainer of a full cygwin mysql.

Unfortunately, the good folks at mysql still ship a binary "mysqlc" 
that's supposedly a cygwin build of the mysql command-line tool, but 
it's linked against the ancient b19 (!!!), and they ship a binary 
cygwinb19.dll without sources in apparent violation of the GPL..
