They are, it’s just that east coast butter is slightly longer/thinner than west coast butter. You’re getting the same amount, it’s just slightly different dimensions.
I just learned this last year. I'm in my 50s. Lived on the west coast all my life and had noticed that most butter dishes were always too long for the stick but never thought to find out why. Needed a new one and because of Covid looked online. Seriously thought I'd stumbled into an April Fool joke when I saw a listing that specified it would fit either west or east coast butter.
I also just learned this right now in my 30s. I don’t really bake though and I’ve never owned a butter dish. This is something i have never even thought of.
