In case your serious that you don’t get it. The bottom pic is all crustaceans that are more closely related to insects than fish.
Op is saying they don't get why many ppl frown upon eating terrestrial insects but do eat aquatic ones.
Of note, insects diverged from the arthropod line that would become crabs, lobsters, etc in the beginning of the Carboniferous or late Devonian, a solid 350-400 million years ago. This means crabs and grasshoppers are more distantly related to each other than humans and frogs.
But you can eat a crustacean in a satisfying way without eating it's head, offal, or poop.
80% of the countries find them tasty, I for one have not tried insect, at least not on purpose.

...That's the point they're making....
They don't get how we like to eat water arthropods but not land ones...
