As far as I understand, there are ways to make things stronger or cheaper though, while staying within same basic framework of "carbon fiber in the mold"

I don't think anyone thinks a carbon fiber part is just pure graphite held together by hopes and dreams.
Yes of course all carbon fiber parts have a matrix holding the carbon fiber material in place.
This is typically a thermoplastic resin. A resin matrix is required to hold the fiber (fabric/tape/strand/loose fiber) in its set orientation and shape as dictated by the layup and mold post cure. But the strength of the part, "the whole stronger than steel by weight", comes from the carbon fiber more so than the resin.
There certainly are parts that would be considered 100% carbon fiber parts in industry by normal vocabulary.
Now a carbon reinforced plastic, or carbon fiber composite part is most often not a carbon fiber part in the same sense. I myself would not consider them a carbon fiber part so much as just a plastic in most cases.

it may be worth noting that such carbon fiber parts are stronger in some directions where fiber is taking the load. Since the fiber is flexible, mold material still has a role to play in other situations.
