I don't use lyx (though I use tex extensively), so maybe there's

Necessary? No. Useful? Yes.

Wouldn't it be more reasonable for
users of a native Windows tex to use a native Windows lyx?


Until recently, the only Cygwin TeX engine was teTeX, which does not
support XeTeX. If you wanted a Cygwin version of lyx, you could not
have used XeTeX, unless you used MikTeX, for example.

That changed a couple of years ago. TeX Live has supported Cygwin since TL2009.
