1) The chardok update was a novelty patch that few people really cared for on Live, especially early on with the Luclin update looming.
2) Allakazam was (and is?) a cesspool for cluless players; the notion of the typical site visitor sitting down to camp the Library between October '01 and December '01 is laughable. Even moreso for any length of time required to statistically get the drop.
Personally, I was one of the only people killing Loremaster on my server and never saw the cord. Does this mean it's doesn't belong on the table? Of course not; that camp was a pain in the ass to hold down back then, especially without gimmicky faction/charm antics. Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's not classic.

Anecdotally, if these were dropping on Live as soon as Chardok was patched it seems like someone would've mentioned it in the 12 months between October 2001 and October 2002.

Why? Noone went down there. And if you wanted the cords, you simply quested them. The quest wasn't widely known about and there was no ridiculously dumb queue for shady/angry goblin.
After Luclin hit, even fewer people cared.
