Why this not a good idea?

Not intentionally.  It looks like this:

sbang AT ITEM-S63383:~$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
#    This file is read once by the first process in a Cygwin process tree.
#    To pick up changes, restart all Cygwin processes.  For a description
#    see https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch
#
# Defaults:
# passwd:   files db
# group:    files db
# db_enum:  cache builtin
# db_home:  /home/%U
db_home:  windows
# db_shell: /bin/bash
# db_gecos: <empty>

> nothing obvious from the other data

Ok
