Well, there are some pretty poorly made mouthpieces out there. Some "brands" are just better in terms of them putting out a consistent product that is also a good value like for example, oh I don't know, maybe Vandoren.
It is easy to spend a LOT of money on mouthpieces. If you want to try all the esoteric makers, and money is no object, there are a lot of decent mouthpieces amongst them, no question. But practically speaking you don't need to spend a small fortune to get a really good mouthpiece and perhaps that is the thrust of the above advice.
BUT I would not say any ol' thing that looks like a mouthpiece will play well, and I would not waste my time trying to make one work if it were some molded plastic, no name thing that someone grabbed out of a box of mouthpieces from the back of the store.
