Sorry, perhaps I'm using the wrong wording. And, remember that I do not 
represent the OpenERP SA., but I'm just an third party community member. 
Perhaps people of OpenERP SA. can give us a better answer.

The main idea, as far as it has reached my understanding, is that the term 
"openobject" would distract attention from the "OpenERP" brand (not as a 
company, though, but a product in the open-source world). Thus, I agree with 
the marketing move to /play down/ that term, in favour of making "OpenERP" 
something famous.
