That pretty much hits the nail on the head. Most of this X does “human like™️” stuff Y is anthropomorphism par excellence. Usually some form of instinctual behaviour or even simple results of basic physiological processes are compared to stuff that humans do as a high level cognitive process (singing, talking, etc.) so that it generates clicks and draws attention.
This paints a completely wrong picture of animal (or even plant) behaviour, spreads misinformation and overshadows the actually interesting scientific discoveries.

No “vegetarian” animal will refuse some protein if it gets the opportunity, cows and horses love bird’s nests from time to time. Hippos actually eat a lot of meat, sometimes more than they can digest.
As far as I know, the big ones charge very high processing fees
Doesn’t really sound like it wouldn’t draw attention
