There is some truth in what you say.
The game is rigged though to very heavily favour a certain playstyle. On many of the maps, it is extremely easy to bring out double harvesters and big tech units. Stomping others into the ground with bigger units does not have much to do with skill at all, in my opinion.

On certain large maps, I agree with you. But there are ways to beat those that use tech units. What I've been doing on the large maps is sending a few rockets to their harvesters. If they double harvest, i get at least one. That opens up my air factory with the bonus. I then send another set of rockets to their harvesters so that they can waste more money making infantry while I occupy the pads with air. I'll get the first missile. Then I send air to their base and work on depleting it some more.
They'll be busy trying to occupy the pads for the 2nd missile and defending their base at the same time. I let them take that missile. A couple ion cannons to their base and it's destroyed along with whatever damage my air units did.
It doesn't work all the time if they are on an emulator with a mouse moving things around. But if they are using their fingers like the game is meant to be played, I'll usually win over half of those battles in the large maps doing that.
You got to go for their base after you win the first missile. Sometimes they get so focused on protecting that base after they lost the first missile, that they forget about the 2nd. Play it by ear and adapt to what they do after the first missile while you work on going for their base. They may not put many units on the pads if they start busy defending their base.
- I'm getting my butt handed to me in Masters by all the tiberium league players that got pushed back. Just lost like 7 in a row followed by one victory and another like eight losses in a row after that.
I guess I should just start complaining here. Maybe a resign button should be in order. EA is doing this to me on purpose. It's too hard. I'm going to die!

So Master league players get reset to the beginning of Master 3, Tiberium players get reset to the beginning of Tiberium league, and so on.
That would be the best solution.
