Ah, I've worked out what confused me: I was looking at the old
"requires" line in the setup.ini file, rather than the new "depends2"
line. The newer style of specifying dependencies, used by recent Cygwin
installers (including the one you were using) doesn't list
python37-chardet as a dependency. I suspect that's a bug, and it looks
like a bug that was introduced with the most recent python37-requests
package, as it's present for the previous 2.24.0-1 and 2.25.1-1
releases.
I think this is one for Marco Atzeri, as the python-requests package
maintainer...
In the meantime, you've already found the workaround: just manually
install the relevant python-chardet package.
