That's just happened to be opposite case of common usage, I suppose.
Most people either use Cygwin tools in isolation, or use Cygwin tools from
Windows tools.
The opposite is rare, and mostly boils down to scripting, where you naturally
use $(cygpath ...) to produce desired results.

The cygpath tool is Cygwin specific :) So there's no contradiction to
your words.
