They didn't 'rename' mercs to followers, he said that they called them 'followers' for now, and the reason being, because such NPCs will be hired as well as found along the way. Those two guys imprisoned with Cain in the gameplay trailer are not hirelings, they follow you with their own free will and for no charge, so that is why they collectively call them followers.
