Exact same thing is true of the so-called "canonical" Gospels; they were not written by any of the disciples of Jesus, either.
I don’t think that there is any reason to doubt the attributes Gospel authors, other than a late dating. And it seems the best reason for late dating is the prediction of the Temple. However, I find the reasons for early dating to be more robust, and to point to the time and evidence, rather than an a priori bias. If you have a reason to believe this though that you feel is good, then feel free to share.
Here is Dan Wallace’s writings on the arguments for and against late dating.

Your inconsistencies are showing; you might as well not wear pants today.
You and your cronies are willing to apply the methodologies of critical scholarship to ancient texts, such as the Gospel of Peter, but not to the Gospel of Matthew? Outside of your shrinking Christian fundamentalist circles, no one thinks this way.
