I believe the "dynasty" term comes from the Front Office Football sim, where long-term career sims are called dynasties. If I remember correctly, Markus played that sim, and, when he created OOTP, he adopted the same terminology. He started calling long-term OOTP sims dynasties, regardless of the user's intent to build a "dynasty" in the traditional sense.
But you're right that this is probably a dated term, and since OOTP now describes this as career play or career mode in the game, it would make sense to call them "career simulations" or something similar.
