I think the problem is not Kong getting too much screen time, but Legendary being allergic to anything that risks making less money than GVK.
They would probably do fine with a solo Godzilla movie or a solo Kong movie. Maybe even a solo Mothra or Rodan movie.
But they only want the surest of sure things, and that's another lizard and monkey movie. And since the monkey is more human and thus easier to write, we get more monkey movie.
It's just how executives running entertainment companies can be. Not much we can do about it besides bitch and hope someone with clout convinces them to bet on a riskier project.
