Any idea why Cygwin is using the .dll extension instead of the .pyd

$ grep "_SUFFIX=" /usr/lib/python3.9/config-3.9-x86_64-cygwin/Makefile
SHLIB_SUFFIX= .dll
EXT_SUFFIX= .cpython-39-x86_64-cygwin.dll
Your speculation is quite weird, Normally you don't have no problem
loading extension module without suffix in python. and paragraph like
(eg,) is regarded as neither exhaustive or authoritative.
How about look through source code of distutils,setuptools,cpython
instead of complaining about software without any warranty(according to
PSF license)?
