I also think that the hobby allows them to be ambassadors for their kind, people often assume tarantulas and snakes are monsters that are out to get you, one question i've heard people ask someone holding a snake is "Why isn't it attacking you"

People have these insanely perverse ideas about these animals that go away when they discover they're actually quite delightful.
