Yes, many image editors support converting a raster image to a vector, even high-fidelity images like the one you've shown. But creating a usable vector is more than just dropping an image into vectorizer and cleaning up the results. Every angle and point in a vector is handled like a unique object, and thus, the image you've shown would be a nightmare to work with. Often times, there will be numerous duplicate points and hidden angles that can be impossible to sniff out. That's why Illustrator is distinct from Photoshop - creating vectors from scratch is not the same process as converting a raster, and the result is typically far more clean.
So yeah, still stands. If you can stomach messy, unpredictable outputs, use an automated solution. If you want something lean and usable, use a human-being.
