Not just nowadays. LL had lots of competitors back in 70s all selling the same Lancer, Highwayman etc jackets. There were Mascot, TT, Waddington etc etc. Even Highwayman itself was a competitor until it was purchased by LL.I'm glad there is no copyright on leather jackets. My 5* are all copies, albeit sometimes modified. Nowadays almost everything is a copy of something. Personally, I don't think it's bad to make something good even better. At LL you only get the offered leathers, at another supplier maybe one that suits you more. Or some details might be different.
Personally, I think it's good the way it is.
All CHPs are copies of each other, the Perfecto has been copied since 40s. Grais, Rich Sher, Wolf all have the same Perfecto style with its own twist. Levi's and Lee have done that to each other since at least the 30s.
And on poorly executed copy of an original, the Golden Bear CHP comes into mind. How on earth can they expect everything on a duty belt to fit in between all those belt loops?
