2 Possibilities I can think up.

One, there exists so many Reploids during the time the Maverick Hunters were formed, no one really thought of X as something special anymore. I mean you've got like so many Individually distinct ones it's tell if X wasn't just 'another reploid'.

Two, when Dr.Cain put forward the plan to create Reploids, it may have been something the media only found out after the first generation of Reploids were released. So it's possible that people regarded Dr.Cain as the guy who 'created' (Though not really) reploids, rather than investigate further how did he made them. After all, this is the world that may have known about Dr.Light and Dr.Wily's expertise in Robotics, so it may have been assumed that another 'Doctor' made this stuff.

Either the lore's really lacking or people in the future are that fuzzy.
