Mythic Crafter, Item Creation feat or not?

Mythic Crafter (Mythic)

So... This thing.

One of the players has the Archmage path ability Crafting Mastery (Ex)
As it stands, I have run into a snag on how to handle it.
I have one of several solutions that become apparent.
•Make Mythic Crafter an item creation feat which allows the player to use it via path ability. (This goes against RAW but feels RAI)
•As above but also limit Crafting Mastery to non-mythic feats. (Feels RAI as well but also heavy handed)
•Allow it to be bypassed with item creation rules by adding +5 to the DC.(Which goes against the convention of what mythic is by allowing anything to bypass it despite this being RAW)
•I can make a spot exception saying this non-item-creation feat is an exception to the item creation rules. Disallowing it to be bypassed. (Which feels heavy handed)
•I can change the rules of item creation saying that no feats involved in crafting can be bypassed. (Such as metamagic feats for metamagic rods, doesn't feel as heavy handed but nukes rod crafting)

When I say it goes not/in favor of RAW I mean that as written, it lacks the tag (Item Creation) next to (Mythic)

Some considerations, Eschew Materials (Mythic) is a weaker version of the path ability Component Freedom. While this is only available to the Archmage, anyone can gain access to it by use of the feat Dual Path. Which in turn allows them to bypass the Mythic Crafter feat if it is an item creation feat by taking the Archmage's Crafting Mastery then.

So two questions come down.
Is Mythic Crafter an Item Creation feat or not?
Does Crafting Mastery allow the crafting of Mythic Magic Items?

Mythic Crafter is not an item creation feat. It expands the use you can get out of item creation feats.

Crafting Mastery does not allow crafting mythic items in and of itself. It is limited in exactly the same way as any item creation feat that you use it to duplicate.

So then as a feat that is required to make certain items but not an item creation feat in-and-of itself, I can take a non-mythic character and make those mythic items by increasing the DC to craft by 5? Because that's how that works in that circumstance.

Mythic crafting requires you to have the actual feat to use it.

You can create any mythic magic item for which you have the appropriate item creation feat

Crafting mastery only allows you to create items as if you had the item creation feat. It does not allow you to act as if you had the item creation feat for any other purpose (such as fulfilling the requirements of mythic crafting for example)
