What is being marketed is not "pumpkin flavor" but "pumpkin spice." Pumpkin spice means the collection of spices in the correct proportions to give pumpkin pie its flavor. Pumpkin itself has very little flavor. You cold make a pie, for example, with summer squash and ise punpkin spice and for most people it would be indistinguishale from a pumpkin pie. Conversely, you could make a pie with pumpkin omitting pumpkin spice and it would be so bland as to almost be inedible. "Pumpkin spice" this or that is not false advertising. It's literally accurate. Many people just musunderstand it.
