Holland has been the common shorthand in English for the Netherlands for a very long time now and it's just part of the parlance. It's easier to say too. And you're not going to like knowing that Spanish speaking countries call the Netherlands "Holanda", because the formal name of "Paises Bajos" is also a little more verbose too. And dig this: Holland.com is the official website for the Netherlands as a tourist destination, and website is managed by the Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions. So even the "Dutch" use Holland as an appellative.
