Some people like to associate Cygwin tools with certain mime types so it's possible to click on a file in the explorer, for example, and have their favorite Cygwin tool open the file.
Ah.. I see. That makes sense. I use zsh's suffix aliases and completion. I just enter the file name and zsh knows which program to open it with. But, I see if you had to go through explorer how run could be useful.
