Does the US recognize the (former) military junta/ex-military that still basically control the government? That could be why you hear it referred to as Burma.
The State Department calls it Burma officially I believe.
It's like how ISIS is referred to as the "self-proclaimed" Islamic State. It is a way to avoid giving it official recognition.

That may well be the reason.
