Not many people on this planet are rich enough to afford a phone with gigabytes of EEPROM. The system software on Android devices is simply written to Flash memory, not EEPROM.

Flash is technically just a collection of EEPROMs, hidden behind a nice abstraction layer. The individual EEPROMs in a flash device are just called "erase blocks" nowadays...
That said, calling an RFS-image a "ROM" is really just legacy terminology, carried over to a replacement technology. Much like the term "broadband" is used to denote all fast network connections, even those not utilizing a broad frequency band...
