Pharo is not delivered with VMMaker built-in / pre-loaded. So neither is
its repo built-in.
VMMaker is not relevant to most users, and it has no priority over 100s of
user packages.
All the repos you see built-in are actually components delivered built-into
Pharo.
btw, AFAIK the VM Simulator doesn't work on Pharo - though I'm not sure
anyone has had a serious look at it.
The main vm-devs and the OpenSmalltalk CI builds work on top of Squeak.
