I think most c++ programmers would use a package manager if it was sane (and their org allowed them).

For my personal projects in c++, if a particular library isn't available via vcpkg I categorically refuse to add it as a dep.

If vcpkg was written in rust, python, or brainfuck it wouldn't matter to me. I actually have no idea what language it's implemented in, and don't care.
