Gorillas stick to a mainly vegetarian diet, feeding on stems, bamboo shoots and fruits. Western lowland gorillas, however, also have an appetite for termites and ants, and break open termite nests to eat the larvae.

Gorillas are soy dsa karens who eat the bugs and live in the pod

Gorillas guts are VASTLY different to a humans guts...

Not really comparable in that department.

Their gut biome produces protein

try eating exactly what gorillas eat.. incl their own feces.. see if you get the same "gains"..

Are you vegan?

Protein is pretty easy to get without meat. Lipids are a different story, but based on how quickly you jump to protein I suppose your research never went too deep.

I'll take my fine motorskills over a gorilla's muscle any day tbh. Only barely though

Well, by definition you have to eat other animals to be on top of the food chain.
