Because they’re really far on the evolutionary tree. Seriously people like cats and dogs as pets, rarely dinosaurs (birds) or fish but we are closer to fish then fish are to octopus.
And it’s the same with insects, crabs and jelly fish.
I assure you the insectoid aliens from District 9 didn’t find lobsters that creepy.
Then there’s also the evolutionary effects on our monkey brains, so like how we’re all inexplicably afraid of snakes and spiders even at a young age, even by lookalikes.
And lastly life experience, if you don’t see that many creepy crawlers then you’re more impacted by the rare encounters, I look at the serpent handlers and aligator wrestlers in awe.
