They aren't, if you mean copies. The labels, which often have one of those classic makers' names in larger letters, say "Copy of" in smaller type. If you mean the modified originals themselves, the instrument still traces its lineage back to the original shop and maker regardless of what anyone has done to them since.
I'm not sure what your point is.

Makers up until recently have described their copies as just that, or "inspired by..." or some such formulation, except for the current holder of the legal rights to the Chedeville trademark. More recently my understanding is that a threat of lawsuits has prevented any reference to the name Chedeville by other mouthpiece makers.

I'm not sure why it matters that your opinion is that they're overrated or that their qualities are mythical (or why you're trying so hard to win an argument that is essentially not winnable) any more than it really matters that other players consider (and historically have considered) them to have been God's gift to the world. In the end everyone chooses the equipment they find most useful and helpful to their playing.
