It's called scaling,if you limit the FPS either with vsync or a FPS limiter or because you have a weak GPU the game will use less CPU if your GPU doesn't limit you it will use even more,in this image the GPU is the limit in the right side but it still shows how CPU usage increases compared to vsynced from 30% to 70%.

If their CPU is only using 15-20% in a high-FPS video game then they either have god-awful graphics cards, high thread count CPUs, or they're not reading the right number. You're talking about a new game using multiple cores and complaining about it while comparing it to very old games that only really utilize 1 core.
