You must have never ever hung around ultra liberal circles if you thought people never ever criticized the term terrorist in a very general context. Like you couldn't ever say the term terrorist ESPECIALLY if there was a muslim student in the room in any context. It's because the term had been used so extensively against them for so long that many felt the term shouldn't be used at all.

Like go ahead and talk to a Muslim person around 2012 and use the word terrorist and then tell me the conversation won't at best get very awkward. You could tell just hearing the word made a lot of Muslim people uncomfortable, because it carried memories of discrimination.

The word carried memories of discrimination because people were using it as if it applied to all Muslims. Some people still use it in that way today. You seem to have a hard time understanding this.

There was no issue with calling someone who had committed terroristic acts a terrorist at all.
