Yes, the reason is called outdated code / methods. The only reason to use object/embed is if you need to insert your swf onto someone else's page and cannot add js etc. Even then, the static publishing method offered in swfobject is a better way to go.
If you want to use object/embed, then that is your choice, but it is not compatible with the SWFObject library. I can confidently say (after working with Flash for > 10 years) that if you are embedding you swf onto a page you control, that the <embed> is not necessary and swfobject is they best way to get your swf embeded onto that page.
