So while this concept as it informed Weber and from him modern political science came from the European tradition, it didn't have to. It's the mistake of declaring physics unavoidably Eurocentric because Isaac Newton was a Brit.
And as a classification and description, it has tremendous value because non-state actors often function quite differently from states, both today and historically. I see little doubt that if the term did not exist, we should have to invent it.

The point isn't binary at all. The existence of grey does not imply the non-existence of black or white. States can be all sorts of things: weak, strong, centralized, decentralized, failed. We can talk about early states, proto-states, deconsolidating states...
