I guess it's just an OCD thing. I like things to be neat or organized. At first I was OK with it. It somehow combined webbing with the substrate and created an above ground igloo structure with an entrance and an exit. It was amazing. Then it molted and didn't fit well in the igloo and it started adding webbing randomly here or there until it had nearly filled the habitat and you couldn't see anything...it looked like something from a horror movie.

Also there is the texture. I hate hate HATE felt and velvet....touching them is the equivalent to fingernails on a chalkboard. Spider webbing feels similar to me. Just the thought of touching it with my bare skin gives me chills.

Essentially I'm just weird.
