Nice that you cherry pick a quote, I also suggest that you check which fruits they eat hint it’s not what you would consider fruit or be able to digest.
We do not have a similar GI tract to other primates we have a GI tract simmilar to some primates Gorillas have a closer GI tract to hippos than to humans.
Even the lowland gorilla which it eats “fruit” would say not eat a banana, in fact they destroy banana trees as they eat the leaves and the stem rather than the fruits.
Gorillas can digest about 70% of the plant cell wall material they consume they are one of the most efficient herbivores on the planet in this regard the fruits they eat at rich in cellulose not sugar or starch.
And while cellulose is carb the fermentation process turns it into fatty acids.
What little ripen fruit they eat seem to involve around maintaining fermentation not as a source of energy.
