Godzilla is inherently cooler and better than Kong so your insane made up theory that they're deliberately making Kong look bad would be the correct choice, if they were actually doing that.

They're not though, you're just...being you about it.

The original King Kong movie was head and shoulders above any Godzilla film until Minus One came along. Kong had intensity in that film and Skull Island. The rest of the movies make him out like a lost puppy dog. They knew what they were doing when they made him more docile in the Adam Wingard films. He alternates between acting like the Dino De Laurentiis version of Kong from 1976 -- a film which tried too hard to make the ape sympathetic -- and a big hairy version of the Incredible Hulk. He has the same facial expressions and everything.

Ending MechaG, beating the living hell out of Godzilla, ripping the wartdog in half as well as being crafty enough to bury them, destroying the eel creature in the lake, knocking Skar King's tooth out clean with one punch. But you know Kong can't have badass moments in these movies.

That only counts if you win.

He defeated the lake monster and Mechagodzilla with an axe -- an axe that he didn't fashion for himself, nor is it canon to any other version of Kong. It's like having Batman vs Daredevil and making Batman's entire strategy based around the use of the Bat-Hammer. And he didn't design the Bat-Hammer. He just found it lying around somewhere.
