Just because parrots usually behave like a two year old, doesn't mean they're as intelligent as one. I could act like one if I felt like it. I suppose it's different talking about a species, but nonetheless.
Vykkers aren't enslaved by Glukkons, though. They only do any work because they get paid extortinately for it, thus they can get more tools etc. for their twisted habits. They also have four limbs, and the clawed tip will be a more precise point than between two squidgy fingers. They have sorted out many other problems with technology, such as the eye lenses.
Humans might do some of the Vykkers' tasks since they'd be cheaper, but I'd suspect it difficult to have a largely intelligent human scientist working efficintly for free, as well as somehow being kept otherwise ignorant.

Do scrabs have the technology humans have?

Do dolphins, chimpanzees or, say, any other animal? Irrespective of intelligence? Dolphins could probably use a number of our tech to some degree, or maybe create it, but they obviously don't have the physical capability. Some humans don't even have access to most technology, such as still living native tribes. Most animals don't have the physical capability to create or use technology, and if they're not intelligent enough to anyway, that does not render them
unintelligent. You wouldn't call a dog that, exactly.
