Competition from other hominids and genetic disease.

Or, more likely, just the Uncanny Valley not being that big of deal in general.

It's fun to meme about it but it's not like people are running screaming from the theater because the CGI was off, it just doesn't look right sometimes and our brain doesn't like it because it doesn't fit the patterns it's had reinforced over a lifetime.

You don't run from the theater because you know it's not real. If one of those CGI characters showed up at your front door, you might run.
