A lot of companies throw labels on big initiatives just to help with their own internal accounting and clarity for discussion. As the target gets closer, the detailed breakdown emerges and you get actual release names. The "One D&D" was just a label for the overall initiative, it was never going to be the label they slapped on the books. More important internally than anything.
I do think they're in a bit of a between a rock and a hard place though. The current edition continues to sell well which is amazing for how long it's been out. Meanwhile they had to do something for the 50th anniversary and they've had several years of experience with the current ruleset so it makes sense for them to make some modifications.
I guess I just don't see anything controversial here at all. People are making a mountain out of a molehill that because they are closer to the release individual parts of the overall initiative won't share the project label.
