Something to be said for daily observations of progressive fruit ripening in the garden. 6 inches off the ground, and definite mass-eating like what you show, and I'd be inclined to say mice or squirrels did that damage.

I think you would have seen hornworms' presence long before a partly-consumed tomato, like seeing leaf tips disappearing and/or black pellets of poo on the ground or on leaves directly below that critter.
