However to each their own, playing the genre label game will always produce varied results from person to person, and to be honest SYL and Fear Factory have always been labeled as industrial so I'm just kind of going with the herd.

The thing is that none of the bands that you just named, as much as I love all three of them, are actually industrial music. Like I mentioned previously, industrial is one of those genre labels that seems to have lost all meaning over time. Actual industrial music sounds like this:
Which is why I say neither Strapping Young Lad nor Fear Factory have much of a connection to it at all.
