"It seems like "analog” has come to mean simply NOT digital and, as Fred says, usage has now made this meaning correct.”
“Analog” is also a way reminding us that photochemical processes proceed in a “continuous” manner rather than the “discrete” steps employed in Digital. There is also an implied virtue to a “continuous” process that we see in the old Analog-Records vs CDs debate. Of course, that debate assumed a sampling rate of only 44.1kHz. A current debate — continuous verses sampling rates of 96kHz or 128kHz — might well flip virtue to discrete. Digital sample size — 16 bits verses 24 bits — might also make Digital more appealing.
