I think the reason most people don't like the term teacup is because its associated with these awful puppy mills who produce 1-2 lbs pups and call them teacup and sell them for more money than my car is worth. I think too often people try and educate about the fact that "there isn't such a thing as teacup" when they would be better off educating about the importance of buying a healthy pup from a good breeder.
If this were a perfect world and the only under standard weight dogs that were produced were ones that came from reputable breeders that just so happened to have a tiny healthy pup I don't think the term teacup would be so offensive.
Don't get me wrong now, I think its great that so many people are trying to steer people away from buying unhealthy pups especially for far too much money.
