For me, it was still a terrorist attack, albeit not clear if it was related to ISIS or not, it was still a terrorist attack and should be viewed as such.

It's pure conjecture; you could just as easily say that this was caused by xenophobia in the wake of Brexit. Maybe this mentally unstable individual who is not a UK native experienced higher levels of hostility / xenophobia in the wake of Brexit and that was enough to push him over the edge and start attacking people.
Is that what happened?
I have absolutely no idea, it's a total guess, but it's just as likely a scenario as it being a terrorist copycat attack.
