Package util-linux installs fdisk.exe in /usr/sbin but that path is not
added to PATH variable, so can't be run directly,
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem
Is this intentional?

Yes. It matches how Fedora does things (both fdisk being in /usr/sbin,
and that /usr/sbin is not in the default PATH of non-root users unless
the user customizes things).
If you don't like it, then customize your PATH.
