You are right, even average players can easily beat the AI player in Starcraft 2 (when the AI is not cheating)

Which AI are you talking about? The game-provided AI is not designed to beat players. It's designed to be a fun game mode for players.

That sort of game AI isn't designed to be strong. It's designed to be fun. See e.g. this talk titled "playing to lose" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJcuQQ1eWWI
