So that when you run setup it can start out with the same root that you last used so that you don't have to type it in every time.
That, and also so that the native tools like cygcheck can locate the root dir.
This will be a minor problem in that if you had two installs, both cygchecks will think the root is the last one that you updated with setup. Corinna, perhaps cygcheck needs to compute the root relative to its location like the DLL instead. This means cygcheck will always have to be in /bin, but I think that's fine; it's not like it has ever been anywhere else.
Manually moving an installed cygwin tree would be a silly thing to do, it would break all your services for example.
Anyway, if someone were silly enough to do that they would just need to enter the new location in setup; but this will be the case whether or not setup remembers its last install root, so I don't see how this is pertinent.
