That build is a value we have said for years we would make visible for 
easier determination of Windows version used (21H2 for you and I), 
previously only visible in /proc/version:

$ head /proc/version
CYGWIN_NT-10.0-19044 version 3.3.5-341.x86_64 (corinna@calimero) (gcc 
version 11.2.0 20210728 (Fedora Cygwin 11.2.0-2) (GCC) ) 2022-05-13 
12:27 UTC

What products or processes does it affect negatively, and are there 
arguments for suppression, other than backward compatibility?
