AFAIK, vcpkg is MSVC-specific. Not all Windows users use MSVC.

Did you fact-check that assertion?

Yes, Visual Studio is listed as a prerequisite here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg

The direction vcpkg is going, does not stack up with your assertion, in general. Check the issues and you'll see what I mean.

The direction is not the current state of affairs and you're suggesting changing the current recommendadions. I don't mind *adding* vcpkg as one possible way to install Boost. I just want there to be options for people who don't use MSVC or vcpkg. The most basic option is downloading sources and building Boost yourself. I think, it should be preserved.
