Well, no, it isn't. However, ~/.bash_profile is, and it should have been
added by the default installation script. And the default ~/.bash_profile
reads ~/.bashrc, so you get the same functionality whether you are in a
login shell or not.
The only reason the default scripts won't create a ~/.bash_profile is if
one was already present in your home directory. If so, you may want to
look at /etc/skel/.bash_profile and merge its content with whatever custom
~/.bash_profile you have.

Yes, but now subshells (which are not login shells) will not have these
customizations.

No, there was no related change in Cygwin.

Yes, it's always a good idea when reporting problems with your
installation.
