Because dinosaurs aren’t human-sized.

Zombies are so it’s easier to make it “feel” like a fair fight.

Dinosaurs are big so it’s either a tanks and machine guns bloodfest or humans being torn apart.

IMO a really good dinosaur movie would start with the premise that they never died out, so we grew up alongside them.

(Obligatory nitpick that they indeed never died out and we did grow up alongside them. And even back then, most dinosaurs weren’t giants. But I’m not sure that a movie featuring only, say, dinos smaller than an elephant, or a tiger, would work. People want to see the charismatic gigafauna.)

Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds is technically a dinosaur film.
