Why aren’t there more females than males in most species?

Would it not be more beneficial for a species (population wise) to have more individuals able of giving birth rather than individuals that only increase the population during reproduction?

Just thinking logically here, not a biologist, but no, this would lead to bottlenecking over time. Everyone’s genes would start to look like everyone else’s over time, and any issue that targets certain genes would become detrimental. Even males and females probably leads to more genetic variety and more diverse survivability traits.
