I think there are lots of dialects because it's the easiest programming language to misunderstand.

Somehow, someone who makes a scripting language with C syntax , like Awk or Javascript, instinctively knows that it isn't C and not to call it that.

That sounds about right. It's very easy to make something resembling a Lisp, and even easier to call the result a Lisp.
