Genuine question...what's the deal with chibsons?

I joined a Gibson sg Facebook group. I showed my beautiful twins and I was just appalled on how many were saying they have the same Angus sg as mine but are chibsons. I sorta browsed through there and I just see alot of chibsons which is weird in a Gibson group.

I'm kinda wondering what's the deal with chibsons? Why do people buy them? Aren't they junk? Also for the amount I've seen people put into them they could've gotten a USA Gibson used or an epiphone with mods.....

I don't get it. Maybe for me it's like the same price as an epiphone since I'm in Canada.

I get how people like them but I don't get the appeal of getting a guitar you know isn't a Gibson even though it says it on the headstock and all that. I really don't get it.

I get getting a custom one without branding and made in USA. But I don't get buying a counterfeit
