Yes, that electromagnetic spectrum chart is totally weird. They go directly from microwaves to ultrasound. Based on wavelength? No mention of the RF spectrum from UHF, VHF, HF, LF, VLF....
There are lots of uses for terahertz waves, if they become cheap to generate and sense. Lots of things could use high-definition short-range radar.
Right now, experimental radars are pushing 300GHz.[1] Most commercial stuff is below 100GHz.
