The Case Against Leveraged ETFs

I have a serious question. Why based of the action of the etfs i looked at for example dig dug skf uyg srs ure if you would have shorted them all 1 year ago you would have made money on both of them. So if I short them both now 1 year from now will they not both be lower or atleast one of them substanally so. DIG was at 115 DUG was at 29 today dig is 25 and dug 22 see my point. It is the same story for all the other mentioned. So if they just end up lower why just not short the ultra long and the ultra short and just wait???
