I actually don't consider that a major gripe. It's certainly a very weird decision and I'd prefer the original version, but it doesn't ultimately affect all that much imo, it mostly just means the humans did a bit less orc killing in the movies than they had to do in the books. But yeah, I agree with you, I'm happy it turned out as it did for the most part, some of my favorite movies for sure.
