The "fix" was to start a Cygwin64 Terminal with Admin and then run ssh-host-config within this script. Other installers have produced the same nuisance. These needed an admin command prompt to get around the same "inheritance" limitation.

Are you asking a question or reporting a problem?

It sounds like you are confusing logging on using an admin user (i.e.,
a user that's a member of the local Administrators group) with
elevation (a process that runs using full administrative privileges).
