Just wanted to add, breeding spiders or not is such a non-issue compared to the question of "Why do people keep breeding pugs?" as a single random example. That dog breed actually has a multitude of health issues that interfere with their quality of life, especially later in life, eye problems that if not treated continuously with eyedrops and medications can lead to blindness, etc. Especially when compared to many other dog breeds. So why don't we all go jump on that question, instead? (Joking)
My point is, spiders thrive just as well as other morphs besides being a bit wobbly, and there is no illness or decrease in quality of life to anyone's observation for so many decades. You can speculate for the rest of eternity whether the spiders pity themselves for their wobbly movement, you can speculate for eternity what "really" goes on in that tiny little ball python brain of theirs, but that's really it. Physically, the average wobble simply doesn't affect their ability to thrive just the same as other what we consider "normal" morphs.
And as mentioned, breeding morphs in itself isn't even "normal" either. So what now? Let's just go back to living in caves and being hunter-gatherers.
