Honestly, I don't think I have used cygwin since WSL came out (and it was pretty common for me to use linux vms even before then). The notable exception is that I indirectly use MSYS2 (which is effectively a fork of cygwin) as part of using git for windows. Git for Windows includes an msys2 environment so that the portions of git that are written as shell scripts or perl scripts, etc can run properly. While you can launch the "git bash" directly, and pre-wsl that could be useful, the MSYS is mostly there because Git for Window's git.exe will automatically launch subcommands in that environment.
