Why would anyone run DosBOX under Cygwin???

64-bit Windows versions do not have any compatibility layer for DOS
programs.

I run DosBOX-win32 directly on 64 bit Windows. No need for a Cygwin
POSIX layer here.

You could say the same of many packages. If you want to run MinGW or MSYS, go right ahead. If you want to use Cygwin as an environment in and of its own, then the more packages therein the better.
