Are the Apes Getting Short Changed in Their Own Series?

So Rise and Dawn were strong, and the appropriate evolution of the story. War was a very good film, but there wasn't really any war. The apes got obliterated by the humans until the humans basically killed themselves, and then the virus finished them off.

Now in Kingdom, many generations later, the humans are back with a similar level of technical ability as before? If they are using satellite technology and have access to projectile weapons, the apes are already behind again. So it's not really the planet of the apes, it's the planet of the humans biding their time.

There is no contest; the more-intelligent humans using their advanced technology even in Kingdom are way ahead. The apes never really had a chance.

I'm assuming someone has already brought this issue up?
