CMake don't have constructions like "I don't know which C++ compiler is selected, but turn on all warnings for it" and such. So, you need to write compiler-specific options by hands. Many people knows only gcc and/or clang.

CMake declare that it shields developer from knowing nuances of build systems and toolchains, but does it very badly.
