This is very common. Suppose you have package A installed, which

until someone (usually the maintainer of A) changes this to make A
require C instead.
Maybe a column showing what installed packages are depending on B and a
column showing the dependencies for package A would be nice? It would
help clear the confusion anyway.
the cygcheck-dep package can provide dependencies information,
I do not see the need for setup to do it
So the information is available just in a different place than where it
should be, the tool I'm using to do the download. Having a separate
package to tell me the package dependencies isn't very friendly; I might
not have anything installed, certainly not cygcheck-dep and then I have
to learn and remember to use it as a side step of installation.
