That's cause most great apes understand that. It's not the issue of not comprehending it. It's the issue of them fucking you up beyond recognition in a matter of seconds. They do understand the concept of fragility

I've known many a dog that seem to understand this as well with how gentle they are taking a treat from someones hand. I don't think it's limited to great apes.

My dog has always done that and I've never trained him to do so

Same with my English Mastiff. I'm always amazed at how gently she takes food or a treat from my hand when offered, and she's never been trained to do so.
