Reading /etc/fstab wouldn't work for the initial install. All these possibilities require a substantial amount of (voluntary) work, yet so far the only reason you've given for it was that you "don't like how cygwin works with NTFS permissions and therefore it is disabled through /etc/fstab". It shouldn't surprise you that that doesn't put it high on anyone's list of priorities. So why do you care about permissions on files that come with setup.exe packages? Setup.exe won't touch /home or anything outside the Cygwin install.
