If you take "legend" as a scientific fact - yes, I can agree with you (and
others). But I look on "legend" more like an continuous of "Firebird" and
to make some curiosity in readers, to have interests, to see "what is
that" they never heart it before, easy to remember it. It does not try to
prove anything about Firebird, it is just easy to remember and in
synchrony of the name - Firebird.

"Always Coca-Cola" - you do not drink always coca cola, or it is not
always here.
