Wouldn't Minecraft count as the first or at least one of the early completely open worlds?

There have been plenty of other open world games years before Minecraft existed. Elite 1984, Legend of Zelda on the NES, Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind. Etc.

The term itself just hasn't been around that long.
