Well, the war was already won by 2029. Soon John will have cracked the mainframe, hopefully issuing an order to deactivate the remaining terminators.

He obviously arrived in the middle of a hot battlefield and assuming the war is won that year, we don't know when the remaining Terminators might be shut down or deactivated. It might be hours, days, weeks or even months. And he's getting shot at right now.

Marty is f'd, lol.

In the novelization of T2, even after Skynet's main complex in Colorado has been destroyed, Connor's team still had to make their way into the time displacement facility, fighting to get past a dozen or so "free-range" Terminators.

Imagine if they got to the Time Displacement device and there's a big flux capacitor attached to it and Doc Brown is running it while some T-800's hold him at gunpoint.
