> Almost all apes will eat meat, actually

Are you sure on that? 50% of great apes eat meat. Of the lesser apes, gibbons will eat a tiny proportion.

> Non-human apes usually eat a small amount of raw animal foods such as insects or eggs

Arguable insects are meat, but if you invited someone round to eat some meat, I don't think they would expect insects so think that can be ruled out.

So some, but certainly not "almost all". And the ones that do, it is a tiny % of their diet, relative to most humans

Insects are meat, yes. Are prawns/crab/lobster "meat"? Ocean arthropods are much closer to insects than they are to vertebrates. Obviously the question was about digestive suitability, not culinary aesthetics. And apes eat bugs, and can digest them just fine.

I don't know about apes but definitely deer will eat meat from time to time.
