No they prefer use the source code of the other, change the name and the logo to produce their "own" slicer. Chinese Opensource understanding.

I just went through the PR's for the Creality machines. It made for some interesting reading.

New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.- 0 replies

All the Ender 3's are very similar. The differences between say a regular Ender 3 and a 3 Max is just the build volume size.
You have two choices for stock definitions. The Ender 3 definition has reserved areas for the glass clips. They make the build surface smaller. The Ender 3 Pro definition is identical to the regular Ender 3 but does not have the reserved areas. The Ender 3 Pro is the usual choice because without the "reserved" / "disallowed" areas you get a bigger Printable Area. Either way when you install a printer - on the right side of the window you get to pick a name. After it's installed you should go to the Manage Printers and then Machine Settings and double check the build volume numbers (Width, Depth, and Height) to make sure they are correct for your printer. Creality usually puts a 7.5mm safety margin around the build surface so don't be surprised if your build area is 220 x 220 instead of the advertised 235 x 235.
The definition files come from either someone in the community, or from the manufacturer. There might be an S1 definition waiting to be included with Cura 5.1 but if the S1 is similar enough to the 3 or 3Pro then maybe Creality didn't bother to submit one.

Creality must be thinking all their printers are the same then...
(I don't think Creality submitted any of the printers in the list)

Creality hasn't submitted any of the printers that we currently have.
