I think really old Cygwin versions used to set _WIN32 by default. See for example this thread from 1998:

I assume you're Earnie Boyd who also participated in this thread, so you probably know better than me. My guess is that's where the ubiquitous `defined(_WIN32) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)` idiom came from.

I'd be happy to remove all the `!defined(__CYGWIN__)` checks.
