You ask as if somebody decided NOT to do this. That's exactly the opposite of it, the only reason any packages don't exist is because nobody volunteered to do it. Once somebody does, they will be there. And in fact if you use Cygwin Ports you can already install mysql just like any other package in setup.exe. I don't think Cygwin Ports has PHP though. The build infrastructure for PHP doesn't support Cygwin and it's a real nightmare to try to work with.
