An ape is not as intelligent as a human, it is given. But the ape is much more agile 99% of the time.
You are mixing up ASI with statblocks. A dragon is stronger than a human too, but it's not because it's born with +2 to strength. It is because it's a dragon. Luckily 5e left behind the idea of building the bestiary with the same rules as PC.

As I've said before in a different thread, the rule should set the exception, not the other way around.
I beg to differ. The PC are the exceptions. Not every drow is drizzit, not every human is mordenkainen, and I'm not playing the average sailor with 10 in each stat for sure. The rules to build a PC must consider the fact that they are the exceptions.

can't call your take any other than woke in the very bad way.
Just omg. It's not woke. It's fun. Sadly it seems like you are still attached to an idea where your only option to have fun is to limit others freedom and imagination.
