They do have a lot.
But, one of the other issues is that the 3rd party derailleur hangers are generally not made by Trek, Giant, Specialized, etc. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, but for a critical part that could wipe out half the bike, I'd almost prefer keeping the OEM hanger than buying a 3rd party hanger.
Also, not all brands are the same.
Many of the Chinese E-Bay hangers are cast.
I believe Wheels Manufacturing uses CNC processing to make theirs, for a more precise cut.
Still, not necessarily OEM.
