Of course this includes many states. That doesn't mean the term is useless, you just don't like the implication of that.

Except people don't use it that way. If you say "I live in Syria and I am afraid of a terrorist attack", 99/100 people would not understand what you said to possibly mean that you were afraid of the US drone striking you.

If they did, and anyone can use the term to refer to most any political organization and action that is associated with attacks on non-combatants, it becomes useless.

You would be surprised how many people outside of the west correctly identify US drone strikes as terrorist attacks. And no, that does not make the term meaningless at all.
