Certainly some mouthpieces make the throat notes flat. Pitch goes down as you increase the air volume of the vibrating column. It doesn't matter, as I understand the basic acoustics, whether you increase the volume by lengthening the bore or by widening it. Mouthpieces that have very large chambers, often created by scooping out the baffle to "darken" the tone, without changing anything to compensate for the increased space can cause flatness. And the flatness most affects the shorter tube notes (throat notes and sometimes a little lower).

You can start with the Series 13 Vandorens as examples. What other mouthpieces do you have in mind that cause this same kind of flatness?
