It is but that's how it is in most strategy games.
The AI rarely get smarter if you raise the difficult level in most games.
But I feel in TW the bonuses are alright.
They make you different since you gotta break the enemy fast before you break.
The only one that can beat a TW-fan in battle without bonuses is a human opponent and a AI can never be that good so a bonus for AI is needed.
Of course a good tactical AI + bonuses will be real match for even the most dedicated TW fan.
