IMO it's not fair calling industrial applications IOT, in the sense that most of the places where you'd need logging of a sensor value already have sensor coverage, only via an unsexy dedi microcontroller instead of an ESP-XYZ chip with fancy marketing.
IOT is the term you use when youre trying to capture consumer wallets.

IMO IoT is just as vague as AI, which is being widely used for anything from NLP to deep learning.
Particles' website [0] also uses IoT as an all-encompassing term, using specialized terms like "Smart Home" and "Industrial Internet of Things" where applicable.
I also often tend to forget that, but unlike the Smart home, where I agree with your opinion, IoT for industrial applications like remote monitoring and failure prediction of mechanical parts seems to develop pretty well.
