Feeding a little bit of meat is fine. When giving it regularly, there is a risk of unbalancing the already balanced calcium/phosphorus ratio in dog food (because meat is high in phosphorus). That can lead to severe medical issues involving the bones, blood, etc.

Whether or not one cares about food being balanced is their business. I do, however, and so does my dog's nutritionist.

I see far too many unbalanced diets fed to pups on YT. To each their own. I'll stick with what the experts recommend.

Again, lean meat as treats is usually fine, but completely unnecessary. It's not fine to overuse it.
