There are no dumb questions here.
There may be some dumb answers though.
It's because the top is flat.
I'm not sure when they started using the term or if it's because the top is flat or to distinguish them from other more curved early wagon roofs.
In Olds/Buick terms The Vista Cruisers and Sportwagons had a bump-up in the back and the windows in the roof, so anything without is considered a "flat top" in the same year range. The "long roof" term is also used for wagons.
