Lesser/butter/ lesser platinum are all the same gene, started as different lines but have been interchanged so much its pointless to keep all of the names imo.

I would agree to some extent. But IMO there are differences in each line. The one zinccubus posted I would consider a lesser due to the black. I'm in florida and our butter line around here has no black. Although things have been mixed changed and somewhat confused if you spend enough time with each gene you will see the subtle differences. Below is my baby butter pastel female.
I could post my half dozen lesser/butters and noone would guess who is who corectly based on coloring. They all vary even within so same clutch on light/darkness. Its all just guessing short of making sure I keep things labeled by whatever my adults were sold as.

Again I agree with you. But when you have a butter, lesser bel have babies. I'm sure it's easy for some to mislabel and sell them. So as you or other receive them mislabeled and you continue it spreads and mixes. Something we will never be able to prevent or change. I have actually seen the same exact snake from the same business listed under 2 different genes just try to appeal to peoples wants. It's sad and we must be cautious as consumers and hobbyist.
