Yeah, but they don't worship her, dontcha know?

You're right.

From the most ancient times the Blessed Virgin has been honored with the title of 'Mother of God,' to whose protection the faithful fly in all their dangers and needs. . . . This very special devotion . . . differs essentially from the adoration which is given to the incarnate Word and equally to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and greatly fosters this adoration."516

Catechism of the Catholic Church

We also call her "Blessed," since "all generations will call me blessed."

Your sarcasm meter is broken.

You can relabel it, repackage it, rename it but actions speak louder than words.

From the most ancient times the Blessed Virgin has been honored with the title of 'Mother of God,' because of her FIRST born.

Admitting to having OTHER children would lessen her special place that's been created for her.
