Well, that depends on your definition of "terminal" and Emacs uses different such definitions at different places. In the sense of "terminal" used in `frame-terminal' (for instance), then they do belong there, but in the sense of $TERM they don't. So I don't think that's a strong argument to move them out of there. OTOH I do think it would be worthwhile to byte-compile them (after all, they hold a sizable amount of code nowadays), and currently files in lisp/term aren't byte-compiled. Maybe we should byte-compile the lisp/term files (IIRC elc files get loaded more efficiently because they do not go through load-with-code-conversion, so even if they don't contain much code, it's worthwhile).
