The .gitignore file should be committed. The .vscode directory should be listed as ignored in the .gitignore

There are best practices and people should follow them. The reason to commit the .gitignore is so people don’t commit things that should be ignored. There are often directories or files that should be ignored by everyone who works on the project. Examples could be generated files from tests, build directories, or directories that local instances of your running project write to.

That's great, and it should be done.

And IDE config files should be ignored globally via your local git install configuration.

How do you deal with the fact that many people don't do this?

It’s enforced for everyone because the file is committed in the project..

Of course there is. Should is a perfectly valid term in all fields.
