It's not just that. For a lot of people it's convenient to apply the connotations of "terrorist" to everything besides actual terrorists, e.g., the AP is perfectly willing to call the UKIP or Tea Party "terrorists" while refusing to call groups like Hamas terrorist.

This is similar to the way the US government has declared war on poverty/drugs/cancer, while calling actual wars "kinetic actions".
