A question to the developers: please, what was the rationale?
I have no objection to the change 
Just curious. I did run a few searches in GitHub before asking here, couldn’t find an obvious explanation.
Thanks
I’d also like to know the answer to your question.
I preferred Openbox since it was lighter.
The only explanation I can think of is that XFCE is a desktop environment, so it comes with more built-in accessories compared to Openbox (but that’s not always an advantage).
Remember you can always swap out Xfce for something else. Personally, I like Xfce because you can do funky things like installing a lightweight tiling window manager as a replacement of Xfce’s own window manager xfwm4 and use that tiling window manager (e.g. dwm) inside Xfce and still benefit from all of the Xfce tooling. You do not have to install another desktop environment and do not have to fumble arouns with different file managers, archival programs etc. . You still use Xfce but a Frankenstein’d one I guess… One that makes more fun to use.
Yes it’s a nice stuff . we are in Xdce4 with thumar . I like it !
