I agree that it is good practice to show attribution, and not directly lie saying you wrote something yourself. However the MIT license doesn't require that.

There are a lot of open source licenses that give more protections to the original author. I have a theory that too many people choose MIT just because it is simple, but don't think through what they actually want from a license.
