It looks and plays like Quake, it is Quake. It just doesn't use the original engine.

Similarly, the recent re-release of Doom doesn't use the original Doom engine, it uses Unity, but it's still Doom.

The re-releases of Doom do use the original Doom, alongside Unity. Here's where we get into Theseus' ship: the game logic engine itself is still original Doom's, but Unity is used for the video output, sound, and input engines, allowing for easier ports because of the difference between console and phone graphic APIs and input options.
