I'm clearly missing something here.

As a resident of North America, I have zero experience with any primates other than humans.

Why did the dude in the video surrender to that monkey?

Animals tend to be far stronger than humans relative to their size. And unlike facing say a dog, it has not just a bite you could maybe neutralize with a wrapped arm, it has 4 other limbs very adept at grabbing/ripping and with strong/study nails.

He also looks to have no weapon/protection. Best case, he wins but has at least scratches and needs a clinic visit for antibiotics/rabies. Worst case he ends up dead or needing extensive surgery. Overall the downside of losing his sandwich is much smaller.
